glib2 build fails due to nmedit path problem

[cannibaldancey@…]

System is a fresh OS X 10.5.2 / macports 1.6.0 / XCode 3.0 installation:

sudo /opt/local/bin/port install wireshark

fails around the glib2 build:

Simply doing a sudo ln -s /Developer/usr/bin/nmedit /usr/bin/nmedit and restarting the port install kept the build going.

Not sure if it's reasonable to add in /Developer/usr/bin into /etc/paths or have the path explicitly listed in that build directive for nmedit.

Hope this helps! I love macports. I just wish those darwinports people/website would collaspse things down to macports to simplify things.

It sounds like you have installed Xcode improperly. Xcode should have installed nmedit into /usr/bin. Please check the options in the Xcode installer.

By "those darwinports people/website" I assume you mean the web site darwinports (dot) com, which is not affiliated with the MacPorts project. That's one of the reasons why we changed the name of the project from DarwinPorts to MacPorts -- to distance ourselves from that rogue web site. Do not refer to that web site for any information about MacPorts. Refer to ​http://www.macports.org/ . Discussion of this situation is off-topic in this ticket so further discussion, if you desire it, should take place on the macports-users mailing list.
