Re: Mac install issues with macports

[Hal Ashburner <hal ashburner info>]

This is still a mac ports question not a gnumeric question.

Try running all 3 commands in the specified order. ie run
port selfupdate
Then immediately after run
port upgrade outdated


The ports program seems to have told you to run port upgrade outdated 
command explicitly, but you didn't, from your log:

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you
should run

   port upgrade outdated

then wee see the error message it gives you is:

Error: Unable to upgrade port:

Would seem to be telling.

I'd take this to the macports mailing list and ask there because I'm sure they know more about macports than 
those here do. The package that is failing is glib - note this also isn't gnumeric.


All the best
