macports

I have an application that uses the software package ffmpeg-devel which is installed via macports. Last month I updated macports by running port selfupdate and port upgrade outdated which installed a new version of ffmpeg-devel . My Application building process then started to fail with errors mentioning compatibility. I'm 99% sure that this happens because of the new version of ffmpeg-devel . I had before ffmpeg-devel @20130205_0 , now I have ffmpeg-devel @20130328_0 . I'm not a "guru" and after installing the new version I did remove the old version by mistake, so now I need to install the

I'm calling on psycopg2 with import psycopg2 I get the std error ImportError: No module named psycopg2 I installed my copy with macports, so I'm curious why it wouldn't work because all of the dependencies should be downloaded as well. I don't have any experience with Postgresql, nor this module, so I don't know what could be going wrong. Fact is, another project I'm trying to get built calls upon it, so if I could avoid using this I would. :) I'm sure that postgresql is installed, but that has little to do with the fact that my installation can't find psycopg2. Any suggestinos would be

when i do echo $PATH is see: /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/X11/bin I want to move the /opt/local stuff to the end of the path because it is causing errors with gitk. (the same error specified here: Starting gitk Error ) I've already commented out the export PATH line in my .bash_profile, but my path is STILL set like the above. I also checked etc/paths.d but don't see anything for mac ports in there. I commented out a similar export PATH line in my .profile. Again my path

Thank you in advance for the advice! Background: Relative to the people on this site I'm new to programming, and despite some research I'm not familiar with using Unix-type shells, with what managing packages really involves, or with anything which is done outside of the "Dr. Java" IDE or default R GUI. I have a late-2008 macbook with OSX 10.5.8 My Goal: I'm trying to get the following packages installed in Python: scipy, numpy, matplotlib, networkX My Story: From what I understand my 10.5.8 comes installed with a Python 2.5, which the system needs for its functioning, and you really shouldn't

This arose from How to install gdb (debugger) in Mac OSX El Capitan? . I have macports working under el capitan no problem and have installed the gdb port but I can't get the codesigning to work. It all seems to have worked. The certificate is there and "Always Trust" is set.

In an effort to sudo port install gcc47 It appears that i am missing cctools ld64 libunwind-headers where both cctools ld64 depend on libunwind-headers When trying to sudo port install libunwind-headers I get: ---> Building libunwind-headers Error: org.macports.build for port libunwind-headers returned: command execution failed Please see the log file for port libunwind-headers for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_libunwind-headers/libunwind-headers/main.log To report a bug, follow the instructions in the

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I found that installing some gems no longer worked, including webrat, mechanize etc. Each time I get this error: checking for xmlParseDoc() in -lxml2... no libxml2 is missing. try 'port install libxml2' or 'yum install libxml2' *** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options. And no, I haven't tried installing it with macports, because I forswore macports a couple years back when I discovered I couldn't easily
