Maybe you had selected python3.x with MacPorts before, then you uninstalled MacPorts without un-selecting python, and now you've installed MacPorts again? You could remove the /opt/local/etc/select/python/current symlink manually and try again, though I'm unclear on why it would be complaining that it already exists; it's normal for it to already exist. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
