Now I get the following error:

sudo port -f install privoxy

Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: error renaming

It installs just fine for me on Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Xcode 2.4.1 and MacPorts 1.7.0 from trunk on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. Could you please let us know what version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts you have, and whether you're on an Intel or PowerPC Mac.

I wonder why it's talking about /usr/local. Is that your MacPorts prefix? If so, that is extremely not recommended and you should reinstall MacPorts in a different prefix. If that's not your prefix, then something is strange... is your ports tree up to date? Try again after "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port clean --work privoxy".

System here: Leopard, latest Xcode, macports 1.6.0. PPC

May be it is fixed in macports 1.7.0 trunk, I don't know. I do not test unstable versions.

/usr/local is my macports prefix and I know what I am doing.

I can't use port selfupdate, otherwise the port binary would link against all stuff in /usr/local. A pretend-option would be nice to have, though.

additional info:

It is not a compile-error. It has something to do with the renaming issue.

When prefix is /usr/local, the logfiles are kept in /var/log/privoxy...

So you need to modify destroot.keepdirs accordingly, or set up symlinks.

Current versions of MacPorts prevent you from installing with prefix set to /usr/local so this is no longer an issue.
