Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I keep attempting to install a port that is local and it gives me the error of:

Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, Port extract failed: tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/Users/jonathan/Users/jonathan/ports'

It seemed to duplicate the Users/jonathan part of the code and i haven't been able to figure out why. i think that might be the problem because i have talked to people who were able to get the same port running. Some help would be appreciated.

Exactly what command did you type, in what directory? Can you show us the Portfile you're using?

sudo port install gonstruct

the folder the port is in is just ~/
what do you mean by portfile? the folder form the port i'm useing?

I guess i probably should have started with this...

Port extract failed: tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '/Users/jonathan/Users/jonathan/ports'

Where is the port "gonstruct" defined? There has to be a file called "Portfile" somewhere that describes this port, and it's not in our standard ports repository. (You said it's a local port.) Where is it on disk? (Is it /Users/jonathan/Portfile or /Users/jonathan/ports/gonstruct/Portfile or what?) How have you informed MacPorts that it should look in that location for the port? (Have you edited sources.conf? If so what did you put there?)

comment:5 Changed 13 years ago by Aegershen@…

I edited sources.conf and put in

file://Users/jonathan/ports

above any url ports.
the portfile for gonstruct is in the folder /Users/jonathan/ports/games/gonstruct

Three slashes are needed in file: protocol URLs.

file:///Users/jonathan/ports

ok, so that worked, but then i got an error but i'm not quite sure where. Here is the error if you can do anything with it.

To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

I'm going to try and redownload the ports folder maybe i messed something up playing with it before.
Unless there is something in the error that's not on my end i think that might fix it.

redownloading it didn't work...

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

File a new ticket about glib2, if none of the existing tickets about glib2 describe the problem, and if you've already selfupdated and upgraded outdated ports; I've fixed some glib2 things recently.
