Summary: i must activate all programm-pieces by installing kofficeError activating xorg-inputproto when installing koffice: X11/extensions/XI.h already exists

Problems like these usually happen when an old MacPorts installation has not been removed correctly. In these cases it should be fine to force activation using the -f switch. Does this always happen with /opt/local/include/X11/extensions/XI.h or is the file different every time you try this?

what mean 'using the -f switch'? - it happens on all pathes...

comment:3 Changed 13 years ago by neverpanic (Clemens Lang)

I'm citing the error message:

Use 'port -f activate xorg-inputproto' to force the activation.

The "-f"-switch is used here, to force activation of xorg-inputproto despite the errors.
