problem with `display' from ImageMagick

hi,

after upgrading `ImageMagick' today

the `display' command responds to arbitrary input by displaying it's 
help list and exits afterwards. `display' without argument does the same 
instead of bringing up the "splash screen wizard".

`convert' on the other hand still works.

any ideas?

Pextlib 1.0

Hello,

I am trying to install DP on my intel mac mini core duo but am not  
having much luck. I have tried to install from the 1.3.2 sources and  
from the latest CVS snapshot - in both cases, the installation  
finishes without a hitch but when I try to run 'port selfupdate'  (or  
any other command), I get the following error:

Failed to initialize ports system, can't find package Pextlib 1.0

I am not sure what's going on here. I searched the mailing list  
archives and found a bunch of posts with the same problems but no  
solutions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated !!

Thanks in advance,
Nitin

Ryan, UFS has a rich history with *BSD platforms including NeXTSTEP.
Darwin's implementation of UFS is similar to FreeBSD's with the difference
being that Darwin UFS is big endian regardless if a disc volume formatted
with Darwin UFS is big or little endian (e.g., PPC or Intel). Thus, I can
not in any way believe that MacPorts on Mac Intel hardware running Mac OS X
10.4.5 or higher should have any problem building ports on a volume that is
formatted with the Darwin UFS. Darwin UFS has always been case sensitive and
if I recall correctly, HFSX is still quite new (introduced a year or two
ago?) so when you think about it, go back to when Apple acquired NeXT and
they made Mac OS X 10.0 ... and 10.1 and Jaguar 10.2 -- there was no other
case sensitive file system option besides Darwin UFS. I'm not even sure if
Panther 10.3 had HFSX or not.

Also, HFS+ does not support sparse files (Darwin UFS does!) and if you look
at Apple's evolution of the Disk Utility app, you can see how sparse files
and disc images have come along as a new option when imaging the file

DarwinPorts (MacPorts) Advisory: Stay with at least Xcode 2.2.1 on Intel (if not PPC)

Here is an example of where I reiterate to be careful using Xcode 2.4 with
DarwinPorts 1.3.2 (and probably 1.3.1). Take the same Mac Mini Intel machine
(duo core 1.67 GhZ), take Mac OS X 10.4.7 (client installed from the
installer DVDs that shipped with the Mac Mini -- starting with 10.4.5 and
then doing a software update to 10.4.7 -- the DVDs are for Intel
architecture only, not Universal Binary). Now take Xcode 2.4 and try to
build the DarwinPort gpgme and you get the failure below. However, swap out
Xcode 2.4 with 2.2.1 on the same exact platform and gpgme works fine. Looks
like the error below has something to do with Apple changing gcc (in Xcode
2.4 missing Fortran g77 parts?). Anyway, gpgme works gorgeous with Intel Mac
Mini, Darwin Ports 1.3.2, and 10.4.7 Intel with Xcode 2.2.1

I therefore highly encourage current DarwinPorts (MacPorts) users to stick
with 2.2.1 (unless Xcode 2.3 is fine but I have not tested it).

Best regards,

T.

Be careful using Xcode 2.4 on Intel

Hello all,

The Mac Mini Intel Duo core has been giving me trouble with Darwin Ports
1.3.2 and Xcode 2.4 building on a target UFS volume. At first I thought it
was just the problem of building on to Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Universal
Binary (which does seem to be a problem building some ports such as
cyrus-sasl2 with Xcode 2.2.1) but the xrender port once again crashed on me
when building it (on 10.4.7 Intel client, no the UB server). So now I will
scale back conservatively to Xcode 2.2.1

Hopefully this is helpful to others. This is a strong reminder that once
again, the software always lags hardware developments. Software is much more
difficult to get right and nearly perfected. I think Intel for Mac OS X has
quite a way to go but to be fair we still have quite a bit of the year left
and Apple said that the goal was to do a transformation in the calendar
year, so my expectations are fine and there is no reason to complain.

Best regards,

T.

postgresql installation

HI,

I am trying to install the postgresql81 and postgresql81-server
from the DarwinParts on a MacBook. The installation succeeds without
any error, but I do not find the initdb or postmaster (db daemon)
installed somewhere.

After searching for it, I could not find the right information
to help me out. Therefore, could someone shed some light on
how to install the PostgreSQL DB via DarwinPorts?

Upgrading the dbus port.

ALCON:

If you have installed the dbus port, use the -R flag when you upgrade  
it.

I just committed an upgraded dbus port to CVS. The upgrade is from 1  
officially unstable version (0.61) to a newer official less unstable  
version (0.92 - the jump in versions is symbolic of the increased  
maturity in the API and is a version 1.0 candidate).

When upgrading your ports use the -R flag as version 0.92 has a  
backwards compatible API with version 0.61, but not a backwards  
compatible ABI, meaning that although all ports that would build with  
version 0.61 will build without modification with version 0.92, they  
do have to be rebuilt to correctly link against version 0.92.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

BTW, in-place upgrades of ports with installed dependencies only work  
if the new port is both API (application programming interface - what  
functions, structures, etc are in the library/program) and ABI  
(application binary interface - how does a library/program link to  
the compiled library/program at runtime) compatible with the prior  
version.

Upgrade gtk2 fails

Hello,

My first attempt at upgrading gtk2 ended in a loop. I bailed out,  
cleaned gtk2, re-checked the need for an update, and then attempted  
to update, ending with below. I'm very naive about what is happening  
here and how it might be fixed. Gnome, of course, no longer works.
