Unable to activate port python26

[pbfuddle@…]

It seemed to dl dependences forever, then I got the following:

sudo port install -d scite 
--->  Computing dependencies for scite

Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

I finally got the -d in the right place

I installed Xcode 3.1.3 last night, so I anticipate that it is current and all necessary files are present. PBF

[pbfuddle@…]

AND I had installed SciTE and had it running. I thought that there was something wrong, first ticket submitted. All the above started when I tried to port it again. pbf~

For 10.5, the latest Xcode is actually 3.1.4 though I doubt that's the issue here.

What is the output from the following?

$ port installed python26

[pbfuddle@…]

I had a heck of a time finding 3.1.3, where is 3.1.4? OUTPUT IS: Last login: Wed Jan 13 19:42:00 on ttys000 c-98-198-70-150:~ trav$ port installed python26 The following ports are currently installed:

Have a look at the FAQ entry on upgrading Xcode, see if that helps.

That's what I was suspecting; how about this?

$ sudo port -d activate python26

Here is what I got. So is python26 the root cause of all this?

I ran locate python26, and got a long scrolling screen of text.

Is there anything I can do, such as, finding and deleting everything that has to do with the port of Scite and restarting?

[nox@…]

This bug has nothing to do with scite.

This usually happens when you try to remove all of MacPorts but don't include the stuff in /Applications/MacPorts (the ​guide covers all bits to remove if you're curious). If that's the case then you should be able to just rm -rf "/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6" then do the activate again.

[pbfuddle@…]

For what is worth, I tried the uninstall Scite before I started this ticket. Does it not uninstall the dependencies (I had a concern about that)? I did notice that there was a " uninstall --follow-dependents" statement in the uninstall help. Was I supposed to add the --follow-dependents to the uninstall command?

[pbfuddle@…]

Also, when I ran locate "Python 2.6", I found it at: /opt/local/var/macports/software/python26/2.6.4_0+darwin/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6/Python Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS Do I need to run a similar remove? Many thanks for your help, DN~

[pbfuddle@…]

I completed running the Weekly Maintenance cleanup. The '/Applications. . .' is indeed gone, however the path

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_python26/work/destroot/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6

and

/opt/local/var/macports/software/python26/2.6.4_0+darwin/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6

fills the terminal page.

[pbfuddle@…]

I am sorry, I missed the part about running activate again, and posted more comments; however; I just did so and it appears that it worked this time:

activating file: /Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6/Python Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/PythonSource.icns or activating directory:. . . etc. for a whole page worth of similar statements. I did not see any errors.

Do I continue with the scite install now?

It did install, after a while. However, scite is very slow to open and I can't tell if it does much. The help function doesn't.

Question, do I go to the SciTE site to ask questions about it?

Thanks,
