Arg! Lets start out with that....
My original installation of MacPorts was on a G4 iMac running 10.4.x. I'm NOT
sure what version it was, but PROBABLY older than 1.71
Upgraded from the G4 to an Intel MacBook Pro running 10.5... Used Migration
Assistant to move all the information from the G4 to the MacBook Pro
Did NOT at that time update my MacPorts installation... Silly me!
Upgraded MacBook Pro to 10.6.5 recently. Went to do some development and
needed to install another port. Surprisingly enough, MacPorts did not
work.....
Error I receive is:
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system,
dlopen(/opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no
suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but
wrong architecture
Okay, no surprise there, I should upgrade my MacPorts.... Well, none of the
commands for uninstalling my ports or even figuring out which ones I HAD will
work... Okay, no surprise. I'll need to do a total reinstall, right?
Download the 1.9.1 installer, run it. It tells me my version of MacPorts is
too old to be updated, I need to run the 1.71 installer. I download the 1.7.1
installer, IT tells me I cannot run this installer on this version of the
operating system..... AAAARRRG!
Suggestions? (aside from "Stupid! You should have updated when you migrated
machines!" I think I know that one already....)
