"Failed to install gdbm"

[namitkewat@…]

i don't know where i am doing the mistake, even i have searched all the possible solution that google has presented to me, still i am getting this error.

Below is the terminal what i always get::::

--->  Dependencies to be installed: perl5 perl5.12 gdbm

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

port clean gdbm
sudo port clean gdbm

Then try again.

If it fails again, attach the main.log.

namitkewat, were you able to install gdbm? If so, let us know so we can close this ticket. Otherwise please attach the main.log.

Hi there, i have applied your solution. It has installed gdbm, but then it stops at sqlite3. Then i have 1st removed older version of sqlite3, and again installed sqlite3. but even after that it stops at sqlite3's error.

After that, i have restarted my laptop,but it doesn't booted. since then(3 weeks)i am not able to boot mac-lion .. . :(

Sounds like you have another issue then.
