swig-python is a subport of the swig port, ever since: https://trac.macports.org/changeset/84644 InstallingOlderPort doesn't address subports, because the concept of subports was added to MacPorts after those instructions were written; the instructions should be updated. To install a subport of the older swig port, `cd` to the directory where you downloaded the swig port's Portfile and files directory, as explained in the wiki page, then instead of running `sudo port install`, run e.g. `sudo port install subport=swig-python`. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
