Type "reset". I think that's the answer you're looking for here based on my 
understanding of the question.

Re: Error installing gnu cash with xquartz: libcanberra must be installed with +x11

 Hi Guys,
 I’m trying to install gnucash by following the instructions here:

 http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/MacPortsDetail

 According to them, it gnucash needs to use xquartz, so that’s what I’m
 using.

 However, after a long, long time, the installation stops with the message
 below. Isn’t it possible to install gnucash with xquartz anymore?


​It looks like not all of the variants are getting set appropriately in the
dependencies (either that or some of the dependencies were already
installed without the proper variants).  If I had to guess, I would say
it's probably a subtle error with some of the MacPorts dependency trees.

You can try rebuilding libcanberra with the +x11 variant and then try
gnucash again.  This is the approach I've used in the past when I've gotten
similar errors.  It sometimes takes a bit of prodding (basically doing this
over and over for all unsatisfied dependencies until it works).

All the best,
Jason

 Well, I understand your point and it would be fine if it is decided to
 leave ALL untouched.
 But then in expect consistent information, i.e. all should be left
 pointing to `postgresql92` (even if it does not exist), so at least
 you know the status. If I am informed that it point to `none` this
 should be the case. 

I believe it is consistent.  As I understand it, the simlinks created by
port select are not *owned* by the selected port.  Since the port
itself does not maintain these simlinks (but rather 'port select' does),
there are good arguments to be made that the port should _not_ own
simlinks created by select.  As a result, uninstalling that port should
not touch those simlinks.  This results in the errors you saw.

An alternative when you know that you are uninstalling a port is to
select none.  So something like

sudo port select --set postgresql none

to get rid of the simlinks, then another

sudo port select --set postgresql postgresql93

to set the simlinks to the new version you want to track.  (This
approach is untested, but I think it should work.)  A feature request
may be for port select to detect dangling links and print an
informative message (perhaps with a suggested command to eliminate the
dangling links).  That's largely aesthetic, though.

 This does not work (tested).
 You cannot set new pointers after uninstalling the port, not even to none.
 I have not tested forcing but remove the link to be able to use port
 select again.

 I am not sure this is only aesthetic!


I'll agree with you now.  -f should only be required if you do something
atypical -- I don't like it as part of a required workflow.

I've needed it before, but that was when I deleted /opt/local to reinstall
MacPorts and file collisions occurred inside other folders (like
/Applications/MacPorts).


 (should we move this discussion on devel?)


I have no opinion here.  I'm not subscribed to that list and do not
actively help to maintain MacPorts...

Re: Why .gz files are not colored with `ls --color=auto`?

 Hi,
 
 On ubuntu, `ls --color=auto` colors .gz files. But it (the one from

 color .gz files as well on mac? Thanks.

According to the GNU manpage for ls (on Linux):

   Using  color  to  distinguish  file types is disabled both by
default and with --color=never.  With --color=auto, ls emits color codes
only when standard output is
   connected to a terminal.  The LS_COLORS environment variable can
change the settings.  Use the dircolors command to set it.

So you can use the dircolors command to set the LS_COLORS environment
variable so that ls will appropriately color files the way you want
them colored.

If you like the way Ubuntu does it, though, you can just copy the
LS_COLORS value from Ubuntu and put it in your Mac's .bashrc file:

swails@ubuntu $ echo $LS_COLORS

You should activate one of the MacPorts compilers instead of the apple
version.  mp-gcc47 and mp-gcc45 should automatically search in
/opt/local/lib for libraries.

Alternatively, you can add /opt/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
g++ main.o -lpcrecpp -o main

 Was there a new test suite applied after this patch? The conclusion we

I've been using llvm-gcc42:

Jasons-MacBook-Pro:~ swails$ port installed | grep -i clang

Also, after doing a port selfupdate and port upgrade outdated (and just
installing MacPorts from scratch) resolves the issue.

Before the update:

 selected_real_kind(6,37) =8
 selected_real_kind(13,307) =   10

 selected_real_kind(6,37) =4

This program was designed to test the behavior of selected_real_kind, and
it now behaves properly.  I can't report regarding clang, but llvm-gcc42

gfortran with Xcode 4.3.2 unreliable

[Jason Swails]

Hello,

There was a thread ~1 month ago regarding gfortran that was acting
strangely.  Here's a link to that thread:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-May/019098.html

I haven't seen any responses or anything to this, and I was wondering if
anyone else had run into issues trying to use gfortran from any of the
gcc4X builds using Xcode 4.3.x on Lion.

There seems to be something *seriously* wrong with the Fortran compiler
built with MacPorts -- in a very Fortran-heavy program suite, nearly half
of the tests are suddenly failing when built with these compilers even
after the selected_real_kind() issues are resolved.  And the failures are
not blatantly ridiculous, they're subtle, but currently I'm wary of
trusting anything the MacPorts-built GCC compilers (at least the Fortran
compilers) spit out.

Thanks!
Jason

 Yes, you are correct that this is seriously wrong and very subtle. The
 issue is with gmp and causes gfortran to erroneously double the size
 of (at least) ints. I opened a ticket here with a patch:


It's not just ints -- it's floats, too.  reals are erroneously passed as
doubles, and doubles as 10-byte floats (??), but only sometimes...  It's
hard to determine what exactly is happening (especially since I'm more of a
user of programming and less of a pure programmer).

However, a comprehensive test suite that tests out fine with GCC 4.2, 4.3,
4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7, along with all flavors of (buggy) intel fortran
compilers, and the PGI compilers all fail with this particular gfortran
build.  I will look through your patch and see if it fixes my problems
(this is affecting quite a few users of this program suite).  If so,
hopefully the port maintainer (or some other dev) can apply this fix,
because just fixing it for me is not enough (I have the 10.6 SDK, so I'm
not even affected by this).

For what it's worth, the compilers on hpc.sourceforge.net appear to work
just fine, but I'm not a fan of always using the bleeding-edge,
latest-checkout-version of the compiler suite...  It's bitten me on a
couple of occasions.


 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34491

 that fixes the gmp issue and also fixes debuggers loading shared
 symbols; but haven't heard back from the macports devs at all on the
 issue. You should be able to apply the patch yourself and rebuild
 everything from source with the -s option:

 $ sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents gmp
 $ sudo port -vs install gcc47

 or whichever gcc you have installed. Hope that helps!


The debug symbols are great!  Thanks for this!

Re: gcc45 and gfortran issue

[Jason Swails]

You should install gcc_select and make sure you set the proper compiler
suite:

sudo port install gcc_select
sudo port select gcc mp-gcc45

That should set up the symlinks so that 'gfortran' in /opt/local/bin links
to gfortran-mp-4.5

Potentially -- MacPorts doesn't check to see if there is something wrong

If something has changed, I could imagine aquaterm breaking (I've had
trouble with it in the past, but not with my current system).  To be

(after).

Hopefully this works...

Re: strange gfortran problem

[Jason Swails]

The problem is actually with MacPorts 4.3.2. A little more accurately, this is 
NOT an actual bug. The problem is that the behavior you are seeing is allowed 
under the Fortran standard -- that's why selected_int_kind exists in the first 
place. 

I had to issue a patch for a piece of software that used selected_real_kind(), 
but assumed that it would always return 8 as used. From all the searching I 
did, I found that this behavior was perfectly within the Fortran standard, and 
that we had to become compliant with it. 

My suggestion is to avoid roll-your-own precision to avoid problems like this. 
If you need to use it, make sure you always use the enquiry intrinsics 
(selected_real_kind and selected_int_kind), and never assume it will take a 
particular value. 

To reiterate, this behavior ONLY arose when I built all my ports with Xcode 
4.3.2, and never with older Xcodes (that is, if I built gcc4x with Xcode 4.3.2, 
it would happen regardless of which FCC I built). 

I agree the behavior differs in my experiences with Linux, but there are other 
OSes and compilers that behave differently as well (or so I read). 

HTH,
Jason

 Easy to do but my question is what do I need to change in my Macports
 setup? It looks like I'll need to add the Macports path to my ~/.profile,
 but is there anything else I am missing?


When MacPorts installed, it just dumped the statement:

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

to my ~/.bash_profile.  Since everything else should be shell-independent,
I don't think there's anything else you need.

If you're making the switch to bash, though, I highly recommend installing
the bash-completion port and putting the line:

test -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion  . /opt/local/etc/bash_completion

in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.  Bash-completion is awesome, and they
have completion for just about anything you could want :) (git, ssh, rsync,
make, configure, cvs, cups, bip2, autoconf, coreutils--just to name a few.
One of my machines claims to have over 200 available bash completion
options).

There's no reason to use gcc47, in my opinion unless you need one of the

that gfortran from 4.6, 4.5, or even 4.4 will not work, so I would suggest
just building one of those instead.

As far as I know, only the Apple compilers support -arch.  The GCCs from
MacPorts accept different arguments for the architecture (for instance,

get as well.

 hello
 i have looked at the FAQ in Macports and in the wiki and have yet to see
 any prerequisites for a persons knowledge base and that persons ability to
 work with the Bash command line or conditional programming.
 In the last few years while i have self taught in the http document mark up
 and dynamic aspects in PHP, MySQL, and some Javascript i have come to see a
 lot of screaming help me in forums as well as a lot of miss leading dog`y
 do.
 I have a few books in the Mac area of Unix, but i see it all boils down to
 the shell. either bash or korn or any other that i cannot remember at this
 time of writing.
 I have found the GNU web page http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/manual/bash.html and
 i am studying that.



 So if there were any prerequisites written some where in relationship to
 the Macports project would those prerequisites boil down to being
 comfortable with simple commands and complex commands using a host of
 predefined command line characters in conjunction with supporting options
 and any and all of the characters and their pre defined uses.


As Bradley mentioned, the only commands really needed to run MacPorts is
sudo and port, (and Google :).

However, there are GUI front-ends (at least PortAuthority, written by Kevin
Walzer) that remove the need to interact with the CL to install ports.
However, most ports don't build a double-clickable App package, so most you
need to run the program from the command-line anyway.  Furthermore,
debugging build issues for various ports requires a much deeper knowledge
depending on the particular package (for instance, I had problems with
meld that I fixed by hacking the meld script to call a different Python
version on the shebang line...).

Re: system git vs MacPorts git for fetching source

 Hi

 As the source for certain ports are obtained by Git I've been seeing a

You could always change this to tracking instead for the time being.  From
git 1.7.7 manpage:

   otracking - deprecated synonym for upstream.


 I believe this option was added in Git-1.7.0, when source is fetched
 for port that use git the fetch fails with the following error:

 :debug:fetch Executing: /usr/bin/git clone -q

 :info:fetch error: Malformed value for push.default: upstream
 :info:fetch error: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.

 i.e. the system git is being used and as this does not recognise the
 configuration option it is therefore failing.

 Can't the MacPorts git be used in preference to the one supplied by Xcode?


Can you simply rearrange PATH (so that `which git` returns
/opt/local/bin/git rather than /usr/bin/git if it doesn't already), or is
/usr/bin/git hard-coded into port somewhere?  Also, since when has Apple
started supplying git with Xcode?  Lion?  And what version is it?  I'm
hesitant to make the jump since I really don't want to break my current
setup (and I still remember 10.6 being quasi-painful)...

 MacPorts finds git and other utilities at configure time and hardcodes them
 into itself.


Into compiled files or scripts?  If it's the latter, sed -i would work to
hack the MacPorts files to force it to use /opt/local/bin/git.  If it's the
former, I've actually managed to use sed -i on compiled binaries to change a
hard-coded path successfully.  It'd be a more permanent fix than changing
upstream to tracked, but still not ideal...



 I don't have a /usr/bin/git on my Snow Leopard system with Xcode 3.2.6 so
 I'd believe that Apple started shipping it in Lion. So on Lion, MacPorts
 will use /usr/bin/git (even if /opt/local/bin/git exists), and on Snow
 Leopard and earlier, MacPorts will use any git binary that exists in the
 binpath, installing the git port if necessary.


Another option (perhaps not ideal) is to just build new git by hand
specifying --prefix=/usr to overwrite Xcode's version.  Normally I'd be
hesitant to overwrite any system tools, but I think git does a very good job
of maintaining backwards compatibility with later versions (I've never had a
problem with it before across a whole range of versions from 1.5.x to now,
and I use git quite a bit on several different platforms).

Hey,

What was the inspiration behind the MacPorts design?  Were ideas borrowed
from a specific Linux package manager (the portage system seems pretty
similar).  I like MacPorts as my Mac package manager, and would love to
check out a Linux distro's package manager that inspired it (if such a one
exists).

Just curious.

like port list, contents, provides, etc.

performance considerations.

I personally use mpich2 myself, but tend to compile my own MPIs, as the
multiplicity can get you in trouble (if you link serial libraries to MPI
code, you can run into lots of problems if the compiler version used to
build the MPI libraries, and therefore the ones you're using to build the
MPI code if you use mpicc/mpif90, is not the same as the compiler version
you used to build the serial libraries).

HTH,
Jason

 Provided mpich2 is not installed with +default (conflict is noted in
 variant description) the two should happily coexist. (I say *should*
 as I haven't tried it recently.)

 As to which is better... it depends. They both implement the MPI2
 standard, so they both solve the same problem, in many respects. IMHO,
 OpenMPI is designed to provide lots of run-time adjustments, while
 MPICH2 tends to be more set at (mpich2) compile time. I'm sure you can
 find plenty of opinions online with a Google search.

  I prefer mpich2 as I use mvapich2 on other (linux-based Infiniband
 cluster) systems, which is itself based on mpich2.

 Good luck,

Re: openmpi versus mpich2

On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 2:19 PM, Rodolfo Aramayo raram...@gmail.com wrote:

 The developer of the package I want to run (Velvet) told me I should
 just install 'libgomp'

 Can you guys translate this for me?

 Is he talking about openmpi or mpich2?? or something else??


Something else.  libgomp is the GNU implementation of the OpenMP
parallelization scheme.  Note that OpenMPI and mpich2 are both message
passing interface (MPI) implementations designed for shared and distributed
memory systems (oversimplified; multi-core computers and many multi-core
computers networked together) by passing messages between the different
threads.  OpenMP is a shared memory parallelization scheme that has
different syntax and design philosophy to MPI.

OpenMP is (from what I've heard) simpler to write and implement than MPI,
yet it is limited to shared-memory machines and thus cannot scale as high as
MPI.

However, if you're just trying to compile code that someone else has already
written, you need to know which one they used to parallelize their code and
link with those libraries.  If the developer of the package you're trying to
use says to install libgomp, then just do that (or some other OpenMP
implementation if it's available) and leave MPI alone ;).

Hope this helps,
Jason

Re: GCC Version

[Jason Swails]

Yes, it's certainly possible.  You have to install one of the newer GCC
packages (gcc43, gcc44, gcc45, or gcc46), then install the gcc_select
package to toggle between them.

To make things easier, you could also install glib2 through MacPorts as
well, and it will build the necessary components for you:

sudo port install glib2

Hope this helps,
Jason

 I had complie errors on glib2 and after submitting a bug report to the

 supporting various things.

 Currently I have:

 Power-Mac-G5:~ crispy$ gcc --version
 powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.**1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)

 However I see the apple-gcc-42 and gcc46 available.

 Hi,

 The main reason for the switch to a newer version of gcc is that I cannot
 compile glib2 with using the port command, it fails towards the end of the
 compile. I'll give gcc_select a go with a new version of gcc and see what
 happens.


That seems like an issue with MacPorts itself.  If a newer gcc was required,
it would have built it as part of the dependencies and automatically used
it.  I also think MacPorts will force the build process to use the XCode
compilers (as it usually does for packages that don't require a newer gcc or
fortran).

That said, I don't know how well MacPorts supports the PowerPC architectures
(on Tiger/Leopard) anymore, and I don't have a machine to test that on.

All the best,

 Hi Jason,

 All *_select ports (gcc_select, python_select, ...) are now handled by the
 port action. You can safely upgrade!

 The new command is
 $ port select gcc

 For the generic syntax
 $ port help select

 Unfortunately it's not documented in the manual page.


Ah.  And here I've just been downgrading everybody in my lab to 0.1_4.  I'll
check out the new functionality and update our on-site documentation.

Was there any obvious way to know this (i.e. changelogs or something of the
like?  I'd not have thought to look at the port manpage for this update
(even though you say it was non-existent).

Perhaps gcc_select could have been relegated to a simple script that just
echoed use the new syntax message, and then phased out for the next
version.

Thanks for the info!
Jason

No.  It does parallel builds by default (which is why the fans are so

Re: PyGTK - Not Found

[Jason Swails]

Did you install the python 2.7 GTK?  That is, py27-gtk?  My guess is that it
installed to a different python than the one you're trying to use.  It could
also be that Nicotine forces python2.6 (i.e., is there a /usr/bin/env
python2.6 on the #! lines?).

To test that your GTK installed correctly, just launch the python
interpreter and try to import the package. (import gtk).

Ah -- you said you just typed python_select python, not python_select
python27.  The first one definitely won't work, the second one might.

What does which python return?  If it returns /usr/bin/python, then your
PATH got reordered (/usr/bin is in your PATH before /opt/local/bin).  The
way the *_select scripts work is it redirects symlinks to the desired
executables (gcc_select and python_select).  Therefore, python_select
python27 will redirect the /opt/local/bin/python link to point to
/opt/local/bin/python27.  You can check this with ls -l
/opt/local/bin/py*.  However, if python invokes the version in /usr/bin/,
then all this means nothing...

During installation, MacPorts puts the lines

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2010-03-09_at_17:43:11: adding an
appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.

In your ~/.bash_profile to avoid these types of issues (I'm not sure if/how
it handles other shells, since I only use bash).

 wine should also work. The choice between wine and wine-devel is whether you

Ah, for me it said wine wouldn't work for me -- I had to install wine-devel 
instead. I forget why, it was a long time ago. I thought maybe the portfile was 
hacked to remove this check

 or the development version. Whether you want MacPorts to crash or your Mac to 
 reboot itself is not a factor in the decision. (Obviously you never want 
 MacPorts to crash or your Mac to reboot itself, and no port in our collection

I must not have read carefully enough. If it was indeed a forced reboot and

 Two users there solved the problem by removing a symlink that they had

This is probably unnecessary, but removing the malloc.h symlink I created in
/usr/include fixed this problem for me as well.  What I had been doing
before I learned about this fix was just comment out the definition of
pointer_t in /usr/include/mach/vm_types.h, which also worked (but I would
strongly suggest just removing the symlink).

What I've heard from C programmers is that malloc.h should rarely (never?)
be explicitly included anymore, anyway.  In any case, I think Apple omitted
that header from /usr/include for a reason.

These were there before.  MacPorts carries along with it a complete list of

Re: Can I uninstall xcode 4 after installing the required macports?

[Jason Swails]

Keep in mind that make is also installed with xcode tools and doesn't
build automatically with any of the gcc compilers built with MacPorts
(assuming you built them to compile software).

If you want to get rid of MacPorts yet still be able to build some of your
own packages with make, you'll either need to install an alternative with
MacPorts or keep XCode around.

Good luck,

 Yes, Xcode is only needed for the compilers and other build utilities it
 provides, which are generally only used during the configure, build and

 files around, just as deactivate and uninstall are just MacPorts deleting

 If you're going to uninstall Xcode, I recommend you use the script Apple

 sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

 That should ensure everything is uninstalled properly, and can be
 unproblematically reinstalled later if desired.

Re:

Use Ctrl-C to kill the process rather than suspend it. You can run it in the
foreground again using fg and then hit Ctrl-C, or just use the kill
command with its PID to kill it.

Good luck,

Re: Installing gcc into a separate diretory

[Jason Swails]

To add on to Ryan's statement, gcc versions typically do a good job of
isolating themselves from each other (if this is what you're worried
about).  If you install multiple gcc's alongside each other, the libraries
and headers and such will be placed in a version-specific folder, and the
real binaries will have version-specific names.

Coupled with gcc_select (another port package I would suggest installing to
have multiple GCCs), you should be able to have as many GCC versions
installed at once as you want.  To demonstrate, on my system:

$ gcc_select -l
Available versions:
gcc40 gcc42 llvm-gcc42 mp-gcc43 mp-gcc44 mp-gcc45 mp-gcc46

and I can seamlessly switch through them as I want.

Hope this helps,
Jason

 No; MacPorts is in control of where the software will be installed and you
 cannot change this (except for changing the prefix globally, for all ports,
 a decision which you can make at MacPorts install time before you've
 installed any ports). Ports that depend on gcc43 and other ports depend on
 them being in predictable locations.

Re: Problem running python_select

[Jason Swails]

What problems do you have with python_select?  MacPorts should put pythons
in /opt/local/Library, but if you don't install any python versions that
won't happen.  Note that python_select is just a script to choose between
different pythons (including the system python).

python_select should be in /opt/local/bin.  To take a look at the python
versions you have available, use the command

python_select -l

You should see something like this:

username$ python_select -l
Available versions:
current none python24 python25 python26 python26-apple python27 python32

If all you see is python26-apple, that means you haven't installed any other
python versions yet.  These have to be installed separately from
python_select.  For example, try installing python27:

sudo port install python27

Now you should be able to choose between these two versions using
python_select.  To actually use python_select to change default python
versions, just select the version you want to run from the list provided
with -l:

python_select python27

My last comment -- on Mac, python is installed as a framework, so the
vanilla ./configure  make  make install won't work for its source
code.  You need additional cflags and compiler options, which is what makes
MacPorts so nice.

Hope this helps,
Jason

 Hi,

 I am new to the Macports. I have Snow Leopard and I have installed macports

 The problem is, after installation it don't have /opt/local/Library
 directory. When I install python it puts everything in /opt/local/ (I mean
 in lib and bin directories).


 macport.conf have

 -
 # Directory containing Applications from ports.
 applications_dir/Applications/MacPorts
 -

 Thats why I think python_select fails to set the current version.

 Do I need to specify any flag while installation, which install things in
 Frameworks?

 I have also tried with the source but with the standard commands
 (./configure , make, make install) but no luck.

Re: preventing sleep during compilation

[Jason Swails]

Check out Caffeine at the Mac app store.  It drops something in your toolbar
at the top of your screen (looks like a coffee mug).  A single click and it
prevents your computer from going to sleep and/or showing the screen saver.
(Easiest manual way of turning sleep on/off I've seen)

I've never had my MacBook Pro turn off, either (I don't have a desktop to
try it out on), but the hardware is different.  It could be that your HDD
cache is bigger/better on the iMac so it doesn't have to spin up as often
(indeed, maybe not even often enough to register before going to sleep).

Does it actually go to sleep mid-compile?  Or does it get stuck somewhere
(i.e. in download stage) where computer resources aren't used so it assumes
all is safe to sleep?

Hope some of that helped,
Jason

Re: Cleaning distfiles

[Jason Swails]

{sudo} port clean --all uninstalled

Does that do the trick?  You can optionally replace --all with --dist to
just get rid of the distfiles.  I don't want to do this to test it since I
actually want to hold on to those files.

You can also do

{sudo} port -u uninstall

to clean out all old, inactive versions (you can get the list via port
inactive).

Hope this helps,
Jason

 If setting build_arch in macports.conf does not have any effect for a

Re: latexmk checksum error

[Jason Swails]

Hello,

Retry with verbose set:

{sudo} port -v install latexmk

You should get some message like

The correct checksum line may be:
checksums   md5 12f916ba257967abea305d317c3cb840 \
sha16fdf7331d2d0c3f9dca58a1bbf459eda94c29308 \
rmd160  7b4322ab339082077b7630dc4d16aa7853e9cbb0
Error


Copy these 3 checksum lines and change the lines in
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/
rsync.macports.org/release/ports/tex/latexmk/Portfile
so that the checksums that MacPorts matches against are the same as the
checksums of your file.

This is the workaround for all checksum errors.  However, I would make sure
that you've downloaded the correct file (run port clean --all latexmk) and
try again before doing the above.

Hope this helps,
Jason

Re: gtkada install

[Jason Swails]

Hello,

I'm guessing that the root user doesn't have /usr/local/gnat/bin in the
PATH.  Try the following

sudo -s
echo $PATH | grep /usr/local/gnat/bin || export
PATH=$PATH\:/usr/local/gnat/bin
port -v install gnat-gcc +gnatgpl
exit

You can also try
sudo -E port install gnat-gcc +gnatgpl

as -E preserves your environment when you enter the root shell.

Alternatively, you can take a different approach where you don't need to use
sudo at all (and you avoid all issues involved with launching a root shell),
and is the practice that I use.

Change ownership of /Applications/Macports and /opt to a user that you grant
install privileges there (i.e. yourself, or create a special user for it if
you want).

sudo chmod -R `whoami` /opt
sudo chmod -R `whoami` /Applications/MacPorts

Then you will never have to use sudo again (which I think is an added level
of protection for your system) when installing via MacPorts.

As a note, also consider changing the ownership of /usr/local as well so you
don't need root privileges there either.

Hope this helps,
Jason

 Hi!

 after installing gcc_select, and before installing any gcc form macports, I

 My guess is that gcc40 came installed with Snow Leopard by default, and
 gcc42 was installed by the latest version of Xcode I installed to run
 macports. Now I will install gcc45 or gcc46+gfrotan in order to run frotran.
 My question is the following: each time I need to install a port from
 macports, where Xcode is used, I should switch gcc to gcc42, the one
 installed with Xcode?


The ports *should* automatically use /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 to avoid this issue
altogether, and in my experience this is almost always the case.  The
notable exception for me has been with git-core.  In my opinion, you should
switch back to gcc42 if you can remember (all it does is shuffle around
symlinks, so it's cheap and easy), but it'll probably be fine if you don't.

One other comment -- if you're using gcc46 +gfortran, take care to spell
gfortran correctly, since port will not complain about misspellings and
silently ignore it.

Good luck!

 I use Fortran extensively on my Mac for my work (scientific computing --
 all applications are written in Fortran).  I have tried both of the methods
 that you have below, but I've had problems with all of them.  The problem
 with installing just gfortran through binaries is that they're typically
 incompatible with the Xcode GCC compiler (they're different versions of
 GCC), so it's far more difficult to link C- and Fortran- object files.  If
 you do find one that's compatible with the Xcode GCC, then that means you're
 using GCC 4.2, which is quite old. gfortran from that era is not yet stable
 and reliable, especially for legacy F77.

 IMO, the best approach is actually provided by MacPorts.  Just install an
 updated GCC with the +gfortran variant.

 sudo port -v install gcc45 +gfortran (this may take a little while)

 Then you can install gcc_select to help manage different versions of the
 GCC compiler (i.e. the xcode version and the MacPorts version, or multiple
 MacPorts versions if you install gcc44, gcc43, gcc46, etc.)

 sudo port -v install gcc_select (this should be fast)

 To use gcc_select, do the following

 gcc_select -l (lists all of the available versions)
 sudo gcc_select mp-gcc45 (selects the GCC 4.5 installed with MacPorts)

 Hope this helps,
 Jason

 You can see with port variants gcc45 that it does not have a +gfortran
 variant; fortran support in gcc45 is always on.


 Only the latest development version gcc port (currently gcc46) has a
 +gfortran (and a +java) variant. The maintainer of the gcc ports explained
 to me that gcc's java support (and perhaps its fortran support) frequently
 broke during the development versions, and he did not want to hold up the
 release of a new version of the port for that reason alone. By the time a
 version of gcc became stable, its java and fortran support would be stable
 as well, so the maintainer permanently enables it at that time.


A quick perusal of the Portfiles verifies your statement, thanks for
clarifying.  However, I've installed gcc43, 44, 45, and 46 all with the
+gfortran variant (of which only gcc46 needs it) and it's always worked as
expected.  Perhaps port quietly ignores any specified, non-existent
variants?



 If your gcc45 port does in fact still have +gfortran and +java variants,
 then your port definitions are out of date; use sudo port selfupdate to
 update them, then port outdated to see which ports are outdated and in
 need of updating.


I keep my definitions updated (religiously), and have actually rid myself of
the need to use sudo by changing permissions of /Applications/MacPorts and
/opt, (I like to reserve the necessity of using root privileges for mucking
about in /usr, /bin, /include, etc.; not /usr/local or /opt or any other
place I choose to install compiled software)

All the best,
Jason

Re: Problems with gnuplot from marcports

[Jason Swails]

Ha, I misread that.  I thought tedit was a program you aliased with open -e
(not sure how I thought that worked).  Your way makes much more sense.  I
like my vi, so I don't use open for text files in any case.  I only just
learned about -e and -t when looking at the man page again.

Happy times,
Jason

 Because I find it easier to type tedit than open -e with the space
 and the dash. My default editor is edit already.

Re: mpich2 and python

[Jason Swails]

Hi Joerg,

MPICH2 uses python fairly extensively (the mpirun and mpiexec executables
are actually just python scripts, as are mpd/mpdboot).  Those developers
tend to hard-code the python version that they use into their execution
since they know that works and will be free of any new bugs that may get
introduced by new versions.  That's the same reason a lot of OS vendors
strap an old, stripped-out python distribution with their OS: their system
python utilities work just fine with that version and they're hesitant to
invest the time to ensure upwards compatibility (especially when Python
makes a jump like 2.x - 3.x).  You should not change this to python2.7
because mpirun/mpiexec are unlikely to work, since the top line stays as:

#!/usr/bin/env /opt/local/bin/python2.5

(I made the change in the Portfile just to make sure)

MPI *stuff* are among the very few things I prefer to do myself (without
MacPorts, although the python's I add mpi4py to are MP versions), since it
allows me more flexibility.

You can also install the OpenMPI variant of mpi4py and avoid this issue
altogether.  I tend to use OpenMPI for my Macs, anyway (though I like mpich2
better for my Linux boxes, for no special reason, I get similar performance
out of both).

Happy tidings,
Jason

 I have recently come across a somewhat surprising issue:
 I installed py27-mpi4py which depends on mpich2 and python27. I was
 surprised to see that mpich2 itself depends on python25. Can someone explain
 to me why that should be the case? The same is true for py26-mpi4py.

 I have played around with the Portfile, replacing the references in mpich2
 to python25 with python27 and it installs perfectly. I have not done any
 other tests, though. So the question is: is this dependency on python25 a
 necessity or can it be replaced with python2[67]?

Re: Problems with gnuplot from marcports

[Jason Swails]

man open ;)

'open file' will open file with its default program if there is one.
'open -a program file' will open file with program

and my personal favorite,

'open -a program' just launches the program as though you clicked it on
the dock or double-clicked it in the finder (and remember that Mac is
case-insensitive).

i.e. open -a textedit or open -a app\ store if you've downloaded the
latest update.

 Or you can just live in the terminal :).  I find it faster than navigating

 Yes, the Finder hides filename extensions by default. One of the first
 things I do on my Macs is disable that feature. It may help Grandma be less
 scared of her computer, but it does not help people who know how computers
 work. To disable this feature, choose Preferences from the Finder menu in
 the menubar, click Advanced, and check the checkbox Show all filename
 extensions.

Re: Problems with gnuplot from marcports

Does it work if you just specify the script with gnuplot on the CL?

gnuplot qhdmmint.gplt

The nice thing about the aqua terminal is that the window should stick
around.

Good luck,
Jason

 Hello,

 I've just bought a new iMac, running OS X 10.6. I am using it at home. In
 order to maintain compatibility with files created at work, under Linux, I
 want to install gnuplot on my Imac. So, I am using MacPorts, which I've
 found a very helpful and clever project (thank you guys!).

 So, I followed the instructions from the MacPorts site, and installed
 macports, xcode (the latest version available) and gnuplot. Everything went
 fine. Gnuplot works well from the command line. The problems appears when I
 try to load and script. When I call gnuplot from the directory of the
