Hello! On a fresh install of Catalina 10.15.5 I attempted to install macports and xorg. Possibly I may have not installed XCode fully before running the macports installer, and this *might* be the cause of errors I've been getting. I am bringing this up to the list as the macports website says, "uninstalling MacPorts is a drastic step and, depending on the issue you are experiencing, you may not need to do so. If you are unsure, ask on the macports-users mailing list first."
Thank you for any advice. HISTORY I received some error messages during the installation process, (now forgotten). When I attempted to run port, there was a problem with the PATH, which I had to manually fix. Later it appeared that I still needed to approve the XCode license. This made me wonder whether I had completely installed XCode at the time I had run the macports installer. Besides the initial path not setup problems, xorg does not seem to run correctly. Errors below: ssh -X gives "Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated xeyes: # "Error: Can't open display:" konsole # qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display... (core dumped) ssh -Y gives "Warning: no xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. This appears to tunnel X, but I would prefer to use the safer -X option. Other (linux) machines are able to use 'ssh -X' with the same host.
