Hi All,

I'm having real hassles with port - most packages fail to install, with a segfault, e.g.:

groke:503:dave>port install tiff

Segmentation fault


At other times, I get a bus error but I didn't save a copy/paste of that, and it's not reproducible.

I've tried using a different tclsh, but the same problem persists. I'm not certain whether port is using the new one... I've exported PATH=/usr/local/bin, and which tclsh points to the newly installed ActiveState tclsh, but I don't know if port uses its own internal version or something?

Any suggestions on where to start debugging this?

So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, selfupgrade, moving fink (/sw) out of the way in case it was causing a conflict, but with no luck. I get this problem on almost all packages. Interestingly, it was not there originally - at least, there are some packages which I had installed before I removed and reinstalled port, which now fail to install.

Thanks for any help,
dave
