Description
Hi,
I'm trying to install apache2 using the following command: sudo port install apache2
Here are the error messages I'm getting:
port -f activate expat Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix. Matthew-Caruanas-MacBook-Pro:~ matthewcaruana$ sudo port install apache2 Password: ---> Computing dependencies for apache2 ---> Dependencies to be installed: apr-util expat libiconv gperf sqlite3 ncurses ncursesw readline openssl zlib pcre bzip2 perl5 perl5.12 ---> Activating expat @2.0.1_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/xmlwf already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port expat. Use 'port -f activate expat' to force the activation. Error: Failed to install expat Log for expat is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_expat/main.log Error: The following dependencies were not installed: apr-util expat libiconv gperf sqlite3 ncurses ncursesw readline openssl zlib pcre bzip2 perl5 perl5.12 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
Please find the error log file attached to this ticket.
Seeing that the command 'port -f activate expat' was recommended, I tried running that.
And it gives me the following error:
port -f activate expat Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
Could you please help me with this problem?
Thanks, Matthew C.
