Hi Dan - Try the following: {{{ sudo port -f uninstall qwt sudo port clean qwt52 sudo port install qwt52 }}} and see if that works. If it does not, it should print out which ports are disliking what you're trying to do. You can get a list of already-installed ports that depend on qwt via "port dependents qwt".
Which port is it that's causing the issue? qwt (5.1.2) and qwt52 (5.2.3) are widely cross-compatible with each other; by now, most users have updated their projects to use (at least) qwt52; I'm probably going to drop support for qwt(5.1) in the next set of updates; maybe move that to a qwt51 port. qwt60 has -some- API changes, but is partially backwards compatible with the qwt5 series. qwt-devel (6.1.0-rc3 right now; soon to be qwt61) introduces yet even more API changes, but again is partially backwards compatible with prior releases. So, you're probably safe using qwt52, but probably not with qwt6+. Worst case is that some of the ports stop functioning, and you have to go back and reinstall them to use qwt52. - MLD On Mon, Jun 10, 2013, at 01:52 PM, Daniel Marlow wrote: > In attempting various ports, I am encountering the following error: > "Can't install qwt52 because > conflicting ports are installed: qwt" I assume that a straightforward > solution would be to uninstall qwt > and proceed from there.
