winetricks: zenity.sh: line 1: -n: command not found

[pennsuaccount@…]

after I install winetricks (sudo port install winetricks), I can't run winetricks with gui, I would get the messages:

/tmp/w.pencilcheck.339/zenity.sh: line 1: -n: command not found
/tmp/w.pencilcheck.339/zenity.sh: line 2: -n: command not found
/tmp/w.pencilcheck.339/zenity.sh: line 3: -n: command not found

I am 100% sure zenity is installed but I have no idea why it is not found.

oh, ok. thanks.

I just committed an update to zenity 2.32.1. See if that helps.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated

[pennsuaccount@…]

still the same....

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This looks like ​upstream bug 3 which is supposed to have been fixed in winetricks already. Are you sure you have winetricks 20110402?

[pennsuaccount@…]

i'm sure it is 20110402 because that's the only version I can find in port search

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

And port installed winetricks shows 20110402 is the version that is installed?

Do you get these error messages immediately after running winetricks or do you need to select some option from the zenity menu before you see it? (Or do you not even see the first zenity menu?)

What version of Mac OS X are you running?

[pennsuaccount@…]

interesting. seems like it is not 20110402, it is 20110318.

But how is that possible? I remember when I search for winetricks it showed up as 20110402 and I proceed to install assuming it installs the latest version.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You're right, whatever you see with "port search" should be what ends up getting installed.

Whatever the reason, upgrading winetricks should fix the problem. If you wait 30 minutes and selfupdate again before upgrading, you'll get a small additional fix I just committed.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade winetricks

[pennsuaccount@…]

oh god, how I hate the selfupdate then upgrade, macports usually just upgrade and build everything.... literally everything....

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Well, selfupdate should download all the new port definitions, and upgrade MacPorts base itself if necessary. And then you should upgrade all your outdated ports. Yes, if you haven't updated in awhile, there may be lots of ports to rebuild; ports are updated constantly, as new versions of the software are released by their developers. You really should upgrade them all to avoid any problems.

[pennsuaccount@…]

anyway, thanks for the help.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, let me know if updating winetricks to 20110402 does not solve it.
