Hello, I'm a newbie (sorry) using mac port and of course ilt did not go the way I wanted... I try to install homebank and had the following returned error. I use Mac OS 10.5.8.

Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_homebank/work/homebank-4.2.1" && /usr/bin/make install DESTDIR=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_homebank/work/destroot " returned error 2
Command output: Making install in src
test -z "/opt/local/bin" || .././install-sh -c -d "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_homebank/work/destroot/opt/local/bin"
/bin/sh: .././install-sh: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 126
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2

I've searched the others tickets and (indeed) found similar errors but I didn't understand the way it was solved. Could you please help me being kind enough to provide me with a step by step solution ? Thanks in advance for your understanding.

What exact command did you use to try to install homebank?

I checked I have X11 installed and XCode (which I didn't so i did the install) and I followed the install guidelines from Home bank as specified on ​http://homebank.free.fr/index.php?id=85 I typed "sudo port install homebank" in the terminal then enter then my password and let the script runs until the error message. :-(

I had the same error. It seems the install-sh file has no execute permission.

In my case, after the error I used this command :

sudo chmod 755 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_homebank/work/homebank-4.2.1/install-sh

and after just retype :

sud port -d install homebank

HomeBank is now installed.
