installing and using Macports

[notwist]

Is anyone familiar with Darwinports? I followed all the instructions here http://www.darwinports.com/install/ and everything seems fine. However, when I try installing a package from within Terminal like it says, there is no such file or directory. I am connected to the Internet so that's not the problem. What's wrong with this? I'm supposed to open a regular Terminal window and just type this correct?

Did you do the "export PATH=..." part on that link? They say to add it to the ~/.profile file but I think that should be ~/.bash_profile

~/.profile works fine for me.

post the results of

echo $PATH

[kainjow]

~/.profile works fine for me.

The reason I asked is because I've been using .bash_profile for a while and it works just fine. I guess I don't get the difference.

This is what i get when i do echo $PATH

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin

Your path is right so can you post the full error message.

[notwist]

this is my error msg:

Bluth:~ cjjacob$ cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/botan
-bash: cd: /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/botan: No such file or directory

[priller]

I've just installed it with changing directory since I don't have that directory either, all I had to run was

sudo port install botan

Thanks! it worked however, when i try running one of the example codes, i get a whole bunch of errors saying it cannot find the botan/botan.h library. I ran the configure.pl script which is required but it isn't working. Here's where it's stuck:

I got the same error but the following worked

cd Botan-1.6.3
./configure.pl --modules=comp_bzip2,comp_zlib

Edited Makefile and changed

MACH_OPT = -mcpu=i686 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
to
MACH_OPT = -momit-leaf-frame-pointer
cd doc/examples
make

[notwist]

Thanks! It worked but... there is still an error.

Here is where it stops:
Bluth:~/downloads/botan-1.6.3 cjjacob$ make install
Installing Botan into /usr/local...
mkdir: /usr/local/doc: Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1

i tried this but it doesn't work either

Bluth:~/downloads/botan-1.6.3 cjjacob$ make OWNER=cjjacob install
Installing Botan into /usr/local...
mkdir: /usr/local/doc: Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1
Bluth:~/downloads/botan-1.6.3 cjjacob$

I really appreciate your help with this !

You need to use sudo to install in some directories. So you'd run

sudo make install

then enter your password.

[notwist]

Ok so I'm still having some problems. I tried compiling and running some of the example code using g++ and it compiles with no errors but I don't know how to run it.

I tried ./a.out and searched the documents included but it didn't mention anything about how to run a program. Can you provide some insight into this?

I appreciate your help.

If you find you self having to enter export commands every time you use macports, here is a suggestion:

If you don't have a .bash_profile you can just make one you self an put it in you home directory.

for reference, these are the export commands you'll put in the file:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man
export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info

Another thing that you might have to do is to make it executable.

The command:

chmod u+x .bash_profile

will do that.

For those who'd like to know a bit more about what they're doing, here is a link:
