I wanted to see if I could figure out what this "port mdmg" stuff is
all about, so I tried to follow some advice Rainer gave me a month
ago: I downloaded the MacPorts tarball, then did the following:
1) Temporarily removed /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin from my path
(I made this step up because, when I tried it without doing this
first, I got an error during configuration about not having tcl
threads).
2) ./configure --prefix=/opt/solfegetest
3) make
4) sudo make install
5) cd /opt/solfegetest/bin
6) sudo ./port -v selfupdate
7) restored my usual path
8) sudo port -v selfupdate (expected this to sync my main macports
installation)
Everything seemed to go fine, but now when I run "port installed", I
get "No ports are installed."
"which port" returns "/opt/local/bin/port", as expected. I've never
thought about the registry before, but it seemed like an obvious thing
to think about now, and I see there are no files in /opt/local/var/
macports/registry.
Where did I go wrong? Can I undo this damage?
Thanks,
Allen
