AFAIK there's no problem. Fink lives in /sw and DarwinPorts lives in / 
opt, so they shouldn't collide.

GNOME panels complain only once

I've installed GNOME and XFree86_44 via DarwinPorts and everything
seems to be fine operatoinally.

Although curious, when gnome-session first starts up and I X runnging
(via XDarwin), I receive a GNOME panel stating:

"This application 'gnome-settings-dawmon' has unexpectedly quit'" 

and another GNOME panel stating:

"The panel encountered a problem while loading 'OAFIID:GNOME-MixerApple'"

What's interesting is if I close these panels, the GNOME desktop seems
to "re set" visually (the icons change for a few moments and then the
normal Desktop re-appears) and I get no further panels asserting
warnings or errors. I'm not sure why this is and it doesn't appear to
be mission critical so maybe its not that big of a deal. However, if I
can keep these panels from appearing that woudl be nice.

Has anyone else encountered this situation?

libpn and DarwinPortsStartup 1.1_0

Hello all,

First of all, congrats to the new leadership. Anyways, I did a `sudo 
port -a upgrade` because DarwinPortsStartup had been updated to 1.1_0 
from 1.0_1. Anyways, here is what I get:

tibook:~ iqgrande$ sudo port -a upgrade
--->  Deactivating DarwinPortsStartup 1.0_1
--->  Fetching DarwinPortsStartup
--->  Attempting to fetch DarwinPortsStartup-1.1.tar.gz from

--->  Cleaning DarwinPortsStartup
Error: No port libpn found.
tibook:~ iqgrande$

What does the error at the end mean? It shows up with `port installed` 
as (active), so it appears to have worked. I should also mention that I 
fully updated port and base apriori. In case it is desired, my 
configuration is shown below. Thank you for your time and given 
assistance.

Re: libpn and DarwinPortsStartup 1.1_0

This puzzles me.  DarwinPortsStartup doesn't have any dependencies,  
and I don't know what libpn is.  Any chance there was another  
portfile in that current working directory that is being picked up  
somehow?

The only discussion in portmgr@ about this was:

We need to take care of this if this bug is valid.

I agree that discussions and decisions (if possible) should be make in 
the open. To be frank the discussions in portmgr@ has been of practical 
issues - who takes care of what. We have been working hard at getting 
things done, not in making decisions behind anybodys back. The 
discussions have actually been on this list.

Handling bug #1580 ("+" in port names)

While testing the Deps button of Sport I encountered the
bug 1580 (http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1580):
if a "+" is present in the name of a port (i.e. libsigc++2
required by Inkscape) the following error appear:

"port search failed: couldn't compile regular expression pattern:
quantifier operand invalid (1)".

"port info" is consequently also affected.

Is someone working on it? Or should I escape plus signs in
port names?

emacs + auctex : how do I compile a latex file from emacs?

Hi all

I have just started using DarwinPorts on OSX (Panther).  I have 
installed emacs 22.0.50+carbon and auctex 11.55_0 and it works fine 
except that if I want to compile a latex file from within emacs, using
	C-c C-c LaTex
I get a 'latex: command not found' error
(same for dvips, xdvi...)

So there seems to be a problem with emacs's path.  I thought maybe I 
had to include /opt/local/bin in emac's exec-path variable, which I 
tried with no success.  I can't find any other path variable to set!

exec-path is set to
	("/usr/bin" "/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/sbin" "/Users/arno" 
"/opt/local/libexec/emacs/	22.0.50/powerpc-apple-darwin7.8.0" 
"/opt/local/bin")

But: M-x shell-command echo $PATH gives me
	/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/arno

What can I do next?  BTW sorry if I am not posting to the right list.

PS: Of course I have teTeX installed (by DarwinPorts, so it is all in 
/opt/local/bin)

Thanks.

Re: libpn and DarwinPortsStartup 1.1_0

Thanks for the reply Kevin. In case the current dir is the culprit, see 
below for some `ls -lag` output of the directory I was in (which was 
just $HOME). Also see below for how I updated DP. Now that I think 
about it, though... this libpn may have shown up before when something 
else was updated but I just did not think anything of it. Any ideas?

merely pasting their commands.

Re: emacs + auctex : how do I compile a latex file from emacs?

Hello,

I could be way off base here, but is it possible that since it is being  
called from a Carbon app, that it may need your  
.MacOSX/environment.plist file to have the nicely-updated $PATH? I am  
pretty sure you should have this directory and file in $HOME. To edit  
environment.plist, use the open command in Terminal.app which will  
bring up the best program to edit it with. A sample of mine is attached  
below. HTH.

Re: emacs + auctex : how do I compile a latex file from emacs?

I forgot to mention that after you change that file, a reboot or two 
may be needed for it to take effect.
