After installing the MacPorts package for macOS High Sierra, I discovered that the ownership of all system directories were changed to root:wheel. I can no longer build something simple as mtr without encountering the following error.
SPIELPLATZ:~ mcc$ port install mtr Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix. SPIELPLATZ:~ mcc$ The version of mtr I built using the MacPorts package for macOS Sierra worked fine until I removed it. It now gets an error of not being able to obtain a raw socket. My CCC backup of my system disk made just after completing the upgrade to macOS shows all files in / owned by mcc:root. After installing the MacPorts package, all files in / are owned by root:wheel. -- Merton Campbell Crockett e-mail: [email protected] mobile: 1(805)377-6762
