On my system, python27 respects ${applications_dir} properly. Are you sure applications_dir is set to your desired value in macports.conf?

    initial v1  
    1 Hi,
     1Hi, [[br]]
    22I am using a computer without root access, thus I have my own local macports installation. I compiled Macports from sources with the following options:
    33
     4{{{
    45  PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin ./configure \
    56  --prefix=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/ports \
    … …  
    1415  --with-no-root-privileges \
    1516  --with-macports-user=`id -un`
     17}}}
    1618
    1719In general I have managed to compile almost every package that I needed successfully until I tried with python2.7. It compiles fine, but when the port is being activated, it complains about not having access to /Applications (which should not be used at all!):
    1820
     21{{{
    1922--->  Activating python27 @2.7.1_1
    2023Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: can't create directory "/Applications/Python 2.7": permission denied
    21 
     24}}}
    2225
    2326I would appreciate any help regarding this issue!
