That's mentioned on the problem hotlist: <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#Aportfailedtobuildwithamessagereferringto1lib:Nosuchfileordirectory> [...] > > How to manage MacPort after you have been adding packages for a couple > of years? Are there any good web pages with advice on managing the > MacPort tree? I want to prune mine. That might make a good new wiki page, but to cover a bit of the basics: sudo port uninstall inactive will remove inactive ports (assuming you don't have any you specifically deactivated for a reason). These usually build up through using 'port upgrade'. Other than that, review 'port installed' for things you no longer need, and you can install the port_cutleaves port to remove orphaned ports that were installed as dependencies of stuff you no longer have. > > Is there a way to start over? i.e. deleting everything and then > providing a "manifest" of the packages you want, somewhat like the > Gentoo Linux "world" file. Currently there's only the brute-force method of using 'port installed' to get the list of what you have, then removing everything: <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts> then install MacPorts and reinstall what you need from the list prior. > > How do I determine why I have a particular package on my system?
