You don’t seem to have a ports tree. Make sure you have installed the latest version of Apple’s Command Line Tools by starting Xcode and going to Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components. Then run

sudo port selfupdate

to retrieve the latest ports tree, and try installing imagemagick again.

Replying to larryv@…:

I did install apple's command line tools, and ran port selfupdate, and port upgrade outdated. When I run it, it says I have the latest version.

Does the file /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/Portfile exist? If not, how much of that path does exist?

comment:7 Changed 11 years ago by shirleyberry@…

Yes, it exists, and I'm able to manually open the portfile.

comment:8 Changed 11 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Ok, then it's not a file not found situation as Larry presumed. When you tried to install ImageMagick, did MacPorts print the location of a main.log file? If so, please attach that log file here so we can see what all it says.

comment:9 Changed 11 years ago by shirleyberry@…

No, all it printed was the error message.

comment:10 Changed 11 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Ok, please try again with the debug switch and see if that prints any more information:

sudo port -d install ImageMagick

Yep, here you go.

Hmm, that doesn't really say much either.

Have you been able to install any other ports before? Are you able to install any ports other than this one now?

Maybe a permissions problem? Could we see the permissions of every component of that path?

ls -ld /opt /opt/local /opt/local/var /opt/local/var/macports /opt/local/var/macports/sources /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/graphics /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/graphics/ImageMagick /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/Portfile

This might be dangerous, but you could always try using the -f flag (for "force") with your port command. I've had similar situations where doing that has solved it.

comment:14 Changed 11 years ago by neverpanic (Clemens Lang)

I doubt -f will help in this case.

comment:15 Changed 11 years ago by shirleyberry@…

No, I've never tried to install any other ports before (I'm a bit new to this, can you tell?), but I'll give that a try.

Getting the permissions turned up:

In reply to the second suggestion, what are the risks of forcing it?

comment:16 Changed 11 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Forcing it won't work.

I would say the problem is your /opt directory, which is configured so that only gordonsmith can read it. That means macports cannot read it. Change /opt to have 755 permission like its subdirectories. Then anyone can read it.

sudo chmod 755 /opt

That did it, thank you so much for helping (and explaining everything so clearly)!

Glad that worked! Hope everything goes smoothly from now on. If you find bugs, please file new tickets; if you have other questions about MacPorts, you can write to the macports-users mailing list.
