Re: What is up with perl5.26 on Snow Leo?

Ok... the significance of this is...?? The funny thing is that almost every Macports install seems to want to upgrade this perl5.26; although as far as I can tell my perl5.26 is perfectly fine. So I am forced to use -n for each install to get anything done, which I fond a bit unsettling. Maybe

Riccardo, Same for me: OpenBLAS-devel worked. But then (work-)life happened & I haven't been able to do as much with Python/numpy as I wanted, so I won't claim I have fully tested this combination. Uli > On Feb 8, 2020, at 5:11 PM, Riccardo Mottola via macports-users > wrote: > > Hi, > > O

Re: Upgrading MacOS From 10.9.5 To 10.13 - MacPorts Implications

Hmm... per EveryMac.com , the 2009 MacBook Air only goes up to 10.11. This agrees with my experience; my 2009 MBP also tops out at 10.11. If the machine really only runs shell scripts, why would you bother upgrading? The newer macOS versions are quite resource-intensive, an

Re: Install macports again after uninstalling homebrew

I’d check .bashrc or .profile to see if Homebrew somehow messed with your path. For me, port points to /opt/local/bin/port. Does that exist? Uli > On Feb 28, 2019, at 11:06 AM, Andreas via macports-users > wrote: > > Hi, > > I don't know if someone else did the same as me after the prerequis

Re: smtube -- useful little youtube browser.

Ok, so I finally got it all working: mplayer built once I used the correct syntax to switch the compiler to the macports version of clang 5 (no error message when wrong but it stays with the Xcode version which is known not to work). With gnutls and mplayer instaled smtube built without further

Ryan, thanks much. While I have not conscientiously installed with universal, I may well have installed 32-bit programs. I’ll do as you say below when I get back to this, hopefully this evening. Uli > On Nov 14, 2018, at 2:05 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > > On Nov 14, 2018, at 11:2

Re: gimp2 install

Hmm… I did not specify +universal; I don’t need that. Do I “sudo port install gimp2 -universal” (minus universal) to suppress the apparent default? Uli > On Nov 14, 2018, at 12:31 AM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > > > > On Nov 13, 2018, at 20:33, Uli Wienands wrote: > >> Ok, so I did upgrade tk. Th

Yes, I am very interested in the Quartz variant. Chris suggested I need to upgrade my tk so I’ll do that soonest, probably tonight. I’ll check into GTK if I stil have problems after that. BTW, I am using your Intel version of Tenfourfox as well. I does run nicely by and large, although I have h

Re: TenFourFox on Intel

I would be very much interested. I am setting up a new old laptop for Snow Leo so I can have access to Rosetta; but TFF does not seem to run under Rosetta (even the G3 built does not work for me). Also I have a bunch of Mac Pros under 10.8 that I don’t really want to upgrade, so I am losing supp
