Yes, I do this regularly. Never had a problem. My working mode is: I have a clone of the git repository, but for the ports I am working on, I make a copy of the Portfile and other relevant files in a shadow directory, but only for those ports. But 'could not open file' sounds like a protection issue. What happens when you execute the shell command? sudo cat /Users/murray/macports/myports/kde/okular/Portfile By the way, another way is to go to the directory /Users/murray/macports/myports/kde/okular and execute the command 'sudo port install' (i.e. without port name). It should install the port in that directory. -- Pieter van Oostrum www: http://pieter.vanoostrum.org/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4]
