Hello, Tried all day yesterday to install recoll.
I am trying today. I installed macports, and when I ran: Sudo port install recoll I get an error: Error: Port recoll not found If I type: sudo port install selfupdate I get an error, first my computer says: ----> Updating the ports tree Then it hangs on that for a little while, then I get the following error: Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed Don't know what is wrong Sent from my iPhone On Jul 30, 2011, at 9:46 PM, Ryan Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jul 30, 2011, at 20:36, james collins wrote: > >> On Jul 30, 2011, at 8:30 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: >> >>> The MacPorts disk image installer does install MacPorts into /opt/local; >>> there is no option for it to do anything else. >> >> I see the folder for macports in /opt/local/etc >> >> But no folder in /opt/local >> >> And then there is files in like /opt/local/var etc. >> >> That is why I say macports is in /opt/local/etc > > /opt/local *is* the MacPorts folder.
