Cannot install gedit and anjuta

[klausdguenther@…]

"sudo port install gedit" and "sudo port install anjuta" dont yield any response (nor an error message).

[jmr@…]

How about sudo port -d install gedit? What does port installed gedit anjuta say?

So did it continue after that to install various ports? gedit has over 100 dependencies so it isn't surprising that it would take some time, and as you've now seen, using -d can be much more verbose in what's happening than without. Also note there's a -v option which is between -d and no option, as far as verbosity goes.

[klausdguenther@…]

What *I* have concluded from this DEBUG output is that lots of required "variants" aren't provided by "gedit" and other ports and that the installation cannot succeed therefore. But I'll try again and wait more patiently.

After more than 2 hours, "sudo port -d install anjuta" crashed with the error messages contained in the attached file.

Looks like libzvt has an incompatibility with newer gtk2/glib2. libzvt has been fixed in r44650. At least 30 minutes after this, run

sudo port sync
sudo port clean --work libzvt

then try your original install again.

OK, many thanks, now I could successfully install anjuta.

Unfortunately it turned out to be a largely outdated version of anjuta, which is completely unusable, moreover: Main menus are totally empty white panes, window contents doesn't adapt to changes of window size, ...
