Re: macports or meld issue?
I had problems having to unset XDG_* environment variables. Which got set for some reason. You can tell that’s the problem if the meld window shows up and then immediately crashes with a stacktrace that says something like: (OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/local/share/meld/recent-NbPmhP.meldcmp’ ) I have no idea what package set that, but meld is the only GUI app I use in MacPorts.

mysql5 fails to install
I’m trying to install the mysql5 port ( @5.1.72 ), but it dies in the ./configure script. $ sudo port install -f mysql5 ---> Computing dependencies for mysql5 ---> Configuring mysql5 Error: Failed to configure mysql5, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_mysql5/mysql5/work/mysql-5.1.72/config.log Error: org.macports.configure for port mysql5 returned: configure failure: command execution failed Please see the log file for port mysql5 for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_mysql5/mysql5/main.log To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide: http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets Error: Processing of port mysql5 failed Check unwinding the logs, show that the configure invoked was: ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/opt/local/share/man --infodir=/opt/local/share/info --localstatedir=/opt/local/var/db/mysql5 --libdir=/opt/local/lib/mysql5 --bindir=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin --includedir=/opt/local/include/mysql5 --datadir=/opt/local/share/mysql5 --sysconfdir=/opt/local/etc/mysql5 --with-zlib-dir=/opt/local --with-ssl=/opt/local --with-extra-charsets=complex --with-unix-socket-path=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock --with-mysqld-user=_mysql --without-docs --with-plugins=all --enable-thread-safe-client --without-readline --with-embedded-server --with-pic which fails with: checking HIST_ENTRY is declared in readline/readline.h... yes configure: error: Could not find system readline or libedit libraries Use --with-readline or --with-libedit to use the bundled versions of libedit or readline That’s a bit odd because macports did install readline as a dependency. Removing —without-readline or replacing —without-readline with —with-readline let’s ./configure succeed, but then running sudo make install, fails complaining about abi_check, so something else is still wrong. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here? Thanks. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
XDG dirs
I recently removed, then reinstalled, MacPorts 2.2.1 trying to diagnose a problem with glib. The problem was that when meld tried to write into the director glib’s g_get_user_dir(), it would get a a permission denied because this directory was under /opt/local/share, which is a system directory. After some digging, I found that MacPorts modified my .tcshrc with three variables that override the glib defaults. These variables, and their values are: setenv XDG_DATA_DIRS /opt/local/share setenv XDG_DATA_HOME /opt/local/share setenv XDG_CONFIG_DIRS /opt/local/etc/xdg The problem is that these XDG directories are all supposed to be user specific, not system specific. I don’t know why MacPorts picked these values, but they’re clearly wrong. Simply removing these lines caused glib to revert back to reasonable defaults. This looks like a bug in the install script. I don’t know who else is having this problem, but the install scripts should never be using these values for these directories, since these directories should never writable by normal users. In fact, I suspect that the system will work just fine without setting these variables at all. Thanks. -- jonathankoren ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
Re: glib user_data_dir set to /opt/local/share
I guess I have to take back what I said about glib. I just installed it on a different machine, and now user_data_dir is set correctly (~/.local) Huh. Perhaps I need to check an environment variable, or maybe just reinstall all of MacPorts on the busted machine. It is strange though. It used to work on that machine. -- jonathankoren jonat...@robotmonkeys.net > On Mar 18, 2014, at 5:25 AM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > > >> On Mar 18, 2014, at 00:30, Jonathan Koren wrote: >> >> I’m on Mavricks with MacPorts 2.2.1 >> >> I recently upgraded the meld port (@1.8.4), and now when ever I try to run >> it, it blows up with an OSError. >> (OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: >> '/opt/local/share/meld/recent-NbPmhP.meldcmp’ ) >> >> Looking into it, it appears that the problem is that meld wants to write a >> tempfile to the user_data_dir specified by glib.

glib user_data_dir set to /opt/local/share
I’m on Mavricks with MacPorts 2.2.1 I recently upgraded the meld port (@1.8.4), and now when ever I try to run it, it blows up with an OSError. (OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/local/share/meld/recent-NbPmhP.meldcmp’ ) Looking into it, it appears that the problem is that meld wants to write a tempfile to the user_data_dir specified by glib. (See line 53 in /opt/local/lib/meld/meld/recent.py ) I don’t believe user_data_dir is set correctly. This call is intended to get a directory for user-specific data, not a system-wide directory. (See https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.37/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-get-user-data-dir). I’m not sure which glib meld is using, but I’ve got glib1 @1.2.10 and glib2 @2.38.2 0) Is anyone else seeing this? I suspect this is happening for all ports that rely on glib. 1) This needs to be fixed. And I suspect the fix needs to be in the underlying glib port 2) Does anyone know a work around, beyond setting /opt/local/share to be world writeable?
