Hello, These remarks are totally insightful. In fact, my machine did experience lots of problems with its Mac OS. The reason might be my installation of several versions of "Ocaml".
So I would like to follow your advice, to uninstall MacPorts and all ports. It seems that it is quite an impressing step, according to the mac port guide. I wonder whether should I take close attention to something special before the uninstallation of that many ports and Macport itself? Thanks again. Zell. **************from Macport guide*********************** 2.5. Uninstall <http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling> Uninstalling MacPorts can be a drastic step, and depending on the issue you are experiencing, you may not need to do so. If you are unsure, ask on the macports-users<http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users>mailing list first. If you need to uninstall MacPorts, and your *port* command is functioning, first uninstall all the installed ports by running this command in the Terminal: ****************************************** > > Your MacPorts installation seems to be in a strange state; who knows how > many other problems like this you'll encounter.
