To answer my own question...

I'm using the new Port Images model, and I've configured DP to reside on a dedicated partition of my hard disk. Thus the installed port images are not located on the system volume.

In the present case DP tries to create links on the root partition (I use the X11 as provided by Apple) pointing to files that reside on a different partition (because the openmotif port image resides there). As DP uses hard links for that purpose -- according to a discussion on the mailing list [1] -- and hard links may not span file systems (cross-domain links), the activation fails to complete successfully.

I imagine two workarounds right now. Either make a new installation of DP on the system volume, or use the X11 port from the DP repository. But I wonder if there is an alternative so that I can use Apple's X11 while still having DP installed on a separate partition?

Looks like an images problems. Will, any comments? This may have been fixed by now...

assuming this has been fixed; please re-open if still persists with v1.2!
