[rupapara.prashant@…]

i installed magic but ext2spice dont work it gives error like

dlopen(/opt/local/lib/magic/tcl/exttospice.dylib, 6): Symbol not found: _DBTechName
  Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/magic/tcl/exttospice.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /opt/local/lib/magic/tcl/exttospice.dylib

so I search in macports and I found magic-exttools. I dont know whether it will solve my problem or not. but this magic-exttools when i try to install gives error.

"sudo port install magic-exttools configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2" ...works... but it says

Image error: /opt/local/bin/ext2sim is being used by the active magic port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate magic-exttools' to force the activation.

I installed magic so will this force activation will create problem with magic or will solve problem of ext2spice

When I was working on updating the magic port recently I did not know that we had a magic-exttools port, and I don't know what it's for. I'll have to investigate. If the port is still needed, we may want to integrate it into the magic port as a subport, since it seems to share a distfile at least with the magic port already.
