What makes you think this is a Macports bug and not an htop bug? Perhaps you should bring it up with the developer(s).

I don't know, but it seems to be working now. I haven't done anything.

Note that "htop" in MacPorts is actually htop-osx; you should report any issues there, not to the developers of the original htop, who don't know anything about the Mac fork and don't really seem to be interested in it either (c.f. when this problem was reported to them before)

In fact the problem was reported to htop-osx in December 2009 and the solution listed there is that we need to build it 32-bit. Hmm.

However, this was supposedly fixed in MacPorts 21 months ago; see #21036. Are you sure your ports are up to date? What version of htop was installed? ("port installed htop") What version of MacPorts are you running? ("port version") Have you selfupdated lately? ("sudo port selfupdate")

Replying to inanc64@…:

Then I'll close it.
