whirlgif: sources cannot be fetched, website is unavailable

[qrmano@…]

I have a MacBook (intel; 2GHz) and have installed MacPorts in order to install AFNI. I have the most recent version of MacPorts (1.5); after selfupdating. Here's what I get when trying to install AFNI:

[net-144-147:~/Desktop] quintino% csh update_mri_ports.txt 
Fetching ports trees...
MD5 checksums OK.
Unpacking...
Creating software index in /opt/local/MacPorts_MRI
couldn't open "/opt/local/MacPorts_MRI/PortIndex": permission denied
    while executing
"open [file join $outdir PortIndex] w"
    invoked from within
"set fd [open [file join $outdir PortIndex] w]"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/portindex" line 204)
You can now install any of the ports added above using:

  sudo nice port install <portname>.

[net-144-147:~/Desktop] quintino% sudo nice port install afni

Any ideas?

Much appreciated, Quintino

whirlgif homepage is unavailable. I can't find any mirror where we could fetch the sources from.

Hi,

after some search I found [one][]. Even if the md5 sum is not the same I think it's the file we are looking for. We should upload it to the macports server so it can be used.

After changing the Portfile a bit it build fine for me.

I attached the distfile and a patch for the Portfile. But I don't know how to specify that it should load it from macports, please add this to my patch.

Hope this helps, Simon
