apr-util-1.3.4: checksum error when trying to install

Re: MacPorts and x86_64?
It's likely that some software either won't build as 64-bit, or if it builds it won't work right. It's not in MacPorts (yet), but ZooLib won't build as 64-bit, because it has a header file that sets up macros to identity the target platform and processor, and we just haven't implemented 64-bit builds yet. I don't think the code itself would have any problems with 64-bit, bit if you try to compile it that way, the header gives you a #error. (http://www.zoolib.org/) If there are any such programs in MacPorts, you'll need to identify them and restrict their builds to 32-bit until they can be updated. (I would be happy to maintain a ZooLib port for MacPorts, but not quite yet.)

PHP upgrade to v5.2.10
Last night I was upgrading my web server to PHP v5.2.10 (from v5.2.8) and everything seemed to go ok, no warnings or major gotchas. But once I began using it, I could see there were some real problems with the time() and date() functions. It's possible that I'm just using these two functions in ways that are either wrong (but have up to now served to accomplish the task I was seeking to do) or are no longer allowed, for security reasons, in which case I will need to develop a work-around. Or something is going wrong with the update. I'm writing to this list to see if anyone else has experienced this same problem, or if you all might have some ideas as to what's going on here. Some additional info: I am running PHP on a Dual G4 PPC Mac, Apache (that comes with Mac OS X, not Apache 2), and MySQL from MacPorts. - Pete O ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

I figure in worst case, since it's the first thing I'm installing, I could wipe out any KDE directory in Applications and just wipe all of /opt, reinstall MacPorts and restart. Is there any place else KDE would store files that I'd have to clear out if I do that? After restarting Terminal or the computer, you can try again. You can use the -d flag (port -d install amarok) to get a lot more information printed out. This will let you see what exactly a port was doing if and when it gets hung up. On the other hand, the vast quantity of output you will get means you will very likely miss any you must do this after installing the port-type messages that some ports print. I was also going to see if I could find a list somewhere of all the messages from KDE. It looks like each package is giving me the same message at the start and the end. I'll most likely wipe out /opt and just start clean, since I don't have any other packages done with MacPorts yet. I don't mind letting it rebuild qt overnight. If you want to do that, you should follow the uninstall instructions shown here: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts As noted elsewhere, I went on with the install and eventually (after fixing the svn issue - thanks, Ryan!), I'm dealing with a problem I think is related to this issue. After it was all installed properly, I ran the following commands: sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE open /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kdeinit4.app launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- session.plist The first two were the instructions given at the start of most packages as they were installed and the last one was given at the end. When I ran the last one, I got this: nothing found to load I suspect that when my terminal locked up previously, there were some messages on what to run that I didn't get to see. Is there a resource somewhere that would give me an output of that install command or a list of command lines I have to run after KDE is installed? Also, would I have to run the last 2 commands each time my iMac boots or is it like some Linux systems -- that once a service is running, it restarts on boot until a user stops it? I'll let someone else answer what is required to get KDE to run. I don't know. chown would permanently set the ownership; it won't get unset. open is the same as double-clicking something in the Finder. launchctl load -w loads a service and tells it to launch at every system startup. launchctl unload -w unloads a service and tells it not to load at every system startup. If you don't use the -w option, then the service is started or stopped, but nothing is changed about what happens at system startup. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
