It goes like this: Computers iMac Core2duo 4GB RAM Brand new Hard drive in some of them
Wiped the computers clean Created one user 'admin' Installed 10.5 clean installation Upgraded to 10.6 clean installation Installed Firefox, Chrome, LibreOffice and TextWrangler Installed MacPorts and then started installing my favorite ports and here is where the problems started crash after crash after crash the computers (8), with the exception of one ALL crashed repetitively Things is, their behavior was indistinguishable from computers having brand new hard drives I therefore do not suspect hardware failure I am puzzled however by the fact that some of the errors are related to permissions problems?? (I am installing as root) Also the user and group in the /opt/local directory is a mix between root:admin and root:wheel ?? WHY? shouldn't it be 'macports:wheel'??? an example of some of the errors follows: ---> Cleaning gtkmm ---> Computing dependencies for gtksourceview ---> Dependencies to be installed: libgnomeprint libart_lgpl libgnomecups libgnomeprintui libgnomecanvas libglade2 Error: Failed to install libart_lgpl Log for libart_lgpl is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_libart_lgpl/libart_lgpl/main.log Error: The following dependencies were not installed: libgnomeprint libart_lgpl libgnomecups libgnomeprintui libgnomecanvas libglade2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
