sorry, i forgot it :-)

Well, a user who types "sudo port selfupdate" causes MacPorts to build itself from source...

yes but in a "closed" environement (for example i suppose that PATH is replaced by binpath), like for ports



Having MacPorts installation with a different prefix in PATH during
configure might fail anyway if certain ports are installed (e.g. tcl). Therefore, use a clean environment with the system's default PATH if you
don't want to use MacPorts for that.

well, i need to compile MacPorts because i don't want to give it root rights

Same here.

ok :-)



it's not very constraining,
just, sometimes i have tinny problems, and in general there is a solution :-)


but it may be very annoying, if the installation of some ports avoids to rebuild MacPorts :-(

is there a simple way to use the system's default PATH, just for the time to build MacPorts ?

Just do it! Run

export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"

before you run the configure, make and make install commands. That's what I do. Then close the Terminal window to get your previous PATH back.

ok :-)
i don't like very much to have fixed things (for example binpath uses a x11prefix path which can vary (i think)),
but if you do that, it must be right :-)

thank you :-)
