This is further confirmation that another software package has installed software unannounced into MacPorts' prefix, as explained in the above ProblemHotlist entry. It will be simplest if you follow the instructions in the last paragraph of that ProblemHotlist entry: uninstall MacPorts and all ports completely, then start again, and do not reinstall the software (presumably SMBup) that caused this problem. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
