#8737 closed defect (invalid)

Incorrect path separator put in classpath during installation

Reported by: kieran_lists@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.2
Keywords: Cc: markd@…
Port:

Description

The installer modifies the bash classpath in /etc/profile. The installer uses semi-colon as the path separator (Windows standard?) instead of colon ( : ) which is the standard unix path separator.

Symptom: After installation on OS X Tiger, issuing the port, or sudo port command produces a "command not found" error.

Workaround: Edit the /etc/profile file and replace the semi-colons with colons after installation.

Fix: Check the installer script in the OS X Tiger dmg

Hmm. I don't see that the code does this. Can you offer the results?
