Description

I completely removed my old mac-ports version and I could not re-install a new one.

The installation always failed with:

"This package is meant to be installed on Mac OS X 10.6.."

Checking the logs indicated something strange:

It seems that the /usr/bin disappeared from the $PATH.

I looked into serveral files and tried to find out where I might add this to the $PATH again, but it did not work using /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc.

So I dumped the image to my harddrive and added:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH

to the top of

/Users/peterschroder/Desktop/MacPorts-1.8.2.pkg/Contents/Resources/InstallationCheck

After doing this, I was able to install Mac-Ports.

Does anyone know where I can configure the $PATH so that the installation works?
