Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I'm trying to install Macports 1.9.2 with the .pkg for Leopard. I'm running OSx 10.5.8, have x11 3.1.4 installed (with UNIX option and x11SDK), and I've modified the path with /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin at the beginning. The .bashrc and .bash_profile have been removed so .profile has precedence.

When I run the package installer, the following error occurs:

'Either uname or sed could not be found in PATH. Your system appears to be incomplete or misconfigured.'

It looks like I've verified the shell env properly, all variables are the same as the example over on the trac install wiki except for:

TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=240.2
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0

I'm not able to have the MacPorts paths imported into X11 sessions because /etc/X11/ does not exist, so I can't add 'source ~/.profile' to the xinitrc file. The only 'xinitrc' file on the machine is in /sw/fink/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/x11, and is attached.

Thanks for your help.

So do you have a working /usr/bin/uname and /usr/bin/sed or not?

Replying to jmr@…:

So do you have a working /usr/bin/uname and /usr/bin/sed or not?

Yes, /usr/local/bin/sed and /usr/bin/uname both work, both are in path.

$PATH = /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

That's not quite the answer to the question I asked. I take it that means you don't have /usr/bin/sed? The PATH in your shell is irrelevant BTW.
