If you have .bash_profile, then modify .bash_profile (it takes precedence over .profile). For example, put /opt/local into your PATH by adding a line like: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH Although I see this is in your env: > PATH=/bin:/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:~/bin:/usr/local/bin So that means you already have a line somewhere else which is adding / opt/local/bin, though into the middle of your PATH. I prefer to add it at the beginning of PATH so that MacPorts-installed software takes precedence over Apple-provided software, as opposed to the reverse, but that's your choice. Also, I see you have /usr/local/bin in your PATH. Note that having software installed in /usr/local can be problematic for MacPorts and is therefore not recommended. There is a bug in the MacPorts 1.6.0 disk image installer which prevents it from creating the .profile for you. This is discussed in the FAQ: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#a4..profilenotsetup But like I say .bash_profile takes precedence over .profile, so even running the postflight manually wan't set up your .bash_profile for you. Off-topic, but if you want to run Leopard on your PowerBook, Leopard Assist may help. I'm successfully running Leopard on a 466-MHz Power Mac G4 using it. http://leopardassist.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
