Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Hi all,
I'm getting this error no matter what I try to do! I was trying to install or uninstall the boost libary, then frusterated that I kept getting
"Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock" afterwards, tried to uninstall my whole macports and can't even do that. Help!
$ sudo port -f uninstall installed Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock
Thanks so much! Lizzy

ps -A | grep tclsh if you can't find the running process so you can kill it.

"
Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock" means MacPorts is already running and doing things. You could check for any running "port" processes in Activity Monitor. Wait until these tasks are finished (or terminate them if you don't care that they don't finish) before trying to do other things with MacPorts.
