Didn't know that there was an installer log. Makes me feel a little better about Macs (I'm coming from Linux) -- at least I know now I have a chance at diagnosing the problem: Aug 15 09:14:54 LM-BWI-00712218 installd[4041]: ./postflight: ---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync After this, I can't quit the installer because "the installer is busy." Presumably there's nothing else of importance in the postflight script after this that I'm missing? > What happens on your network when using rsync? Does it just hang?

Unfortunately, whatever the network is doing to block rsync doesn't result in an error; the command-line process just hangs as well. Given that's the case, I guess there's not much you can do about it. But thanks for looking into it. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
