xemacs and macvim ctags conflict

[ilevy@…]

Hi all,

newbie to macports / mac. I'm trying to install xemacs and macvim (overkill, I know, since I should just choose one). Anyway, if I have one activated and try to install/activate the other, I get:

---> Activating xemacs @21.4.22_2 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/ctags is being used by the active ctags port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate xemacs' to force the activation. Log for xemacs is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_registry_portfiles_xemacs_21.4.22_2/main.log Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for xemacs @21.4.22_2 ---> Activating xemacs Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/ctags is being used by the active ctags port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate xemacs' to force the activation.

The log file doesn't have any more information. I did have a weird python install, if that makes a difference. I installed python2.7 from their website as a normal installer, and it put it's own path in my .profile. So python actually linked to 2.7 instead of what macports thought.

But besides that everything is fairly standard.
