Most software installed by MacPorts does not have (or need) a launchd plist, and they are not things you "load". You just run them. Use "port contents ircii-classic" to see what programs it installed. Command-line programs typically get installed in /opt/local/bin; GUI programs typically get installed in /Applications/MacPorts. To run a command-line program, type its name in the terminal. To run a GUI program, double-click its icon in the Finder. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
