Uninstalled all macports and all installed ports - upon reinstalled, no ports/dependencies can be installed.

[gallego.alexx@…]

1. This is what I did to uninstall all macports

sudo port -f uninstall installed

2. Followed by this

sudo rm -rf \

/opt/local \ /Applications/DarwinPorts \ /Applications/MacPorts \ /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \ /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \ /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \ /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \ /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \ /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \ ~/.macports

then I downloaded the new macports and I can't install anything.

Here is the list of macports I had installed

#!/bin/bash sudo port install \ metasploit3 \ aircrack-ng \ apache-ant \ autoconf \ automake \ bison \ boost \ git-core \ cairo \ bzip2 \ coreutils \ emacs \ emacs-app \ cedet-devel \ ecb \ auctex \ emacs-w3m \ php-mode.el \ python-mode.el \ slime \ python31 \ gnutar \ texlive \ wget \ gmake \ ruby \ openmotif \ libtool \ ocaml \ openssl \ perl5.8

The error on all of the ports is this..........

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: <packets name>

Please let me know, specifically what output should I exactly add. I understand that to submit I think i have to use the -d flag.

However, i chose to ignore this since its not for one specific port, but rather for all the ports.

Thanks in advance

we still need to see the debug output to have any hope of knowing what is going on.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply.

Here is the debug output for say gperf.

So there's the problem. You're missing /usr/bin/gnutar which should be installed as part of Mac OS X. You can probably restore it from your install DVD.

[gallego.alexx@…]

hmm... weird.

Look at this

That's probably not /usr/bin/gnutar

(run 'which gnutar' to see where it's coming from).

On 10.5:

% /usr/bin/gnutar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1

on 10.6:

you are right.

I downloaded the gnutar from the gnu site,

and did a

$./configure && make && make install for it.

Should I copy it to /usr/bin ?

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

You might be able to get things working that way, but I would want to figure out why my OS-installed copy was gone and restore it (and anything else that is missing) from my OS install disk.

[gallego.alexx@…]

Thanks.... i've been tinkering with this for a couple days now. and did not think of the installed CD. :)
