RE: Macports: install/uninstall failed?
Hi Dave, Ah, I see. What will you suggest then? How does one find the root cause here? I found that solution on stackexchange and the question resembled mine. So I thought that's it! Now I find openmotif won't install from Macports, and as a consequence neither does Grace. Best, Kishalay Sent from Samsung Mobile.

Hi Ryan, I cleared the running processes by finding their PIDs with "ps -A | grep tclsh”, and then restarted my machine. Now Macports is working fine. Problem solved!

If you do not, maybe MacPorts or your computer crashed or you forcibly restarted your computer while another MacPorts process was running. If so, you would have to manually clear the lock, but I'm not sure how to do that; maybe someone else knows. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
