Is it *only* macports? Your litany of woes would make me suspect either a hardware problem or a corrupted system file outside of macports. But if you never have any problems with non-macports software then that sounds a mite unlikely. Still, if this happened to me, I would run a hardware test. Including a thorough disk test. A bad sector in the midst of a much used library would surely be an endless source of grief! When you said you reinstalled macports from scratch, did you really mean that? I.e., did you run sudo rm -fr /opt/local and then install macports and then all your ports? If so, and if the hardware test shows no problems, I'd suspect a corrupt system file somewhere. In which case, maybe downloading the latest combo updater from apple.com and installing it just might fix the problem. Or failing that, a complete reinstall of your entire OS. It's time consuming and painful, but sometimes such drastic measures can't be avoided. I do hope you have good backups! Good luck. - Harald _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
