OS X 10.7 (Lion) and MacPorts 2.0 upgrade
July 23, 2011 – 5:24 pm
So I recently upgraded to the latest release of os x 10.7 (lion) and i have a few issues with lion itself … such as …
Lion
lion issues
- you can only burn a dvd BEFORE you install
- backward scrolling will take getting used to
- merge folders only works when copying
- not sure i prefer mission control over spaces
- new gestures are nice
- safari 5.1 is very fluid
- i will probably never use launchpad
- full screen apps are weird
MacPorts
but on to mac ports …
you will notice that macports is no longer working , updates fail etc.
$ sudo port selfupdate

lets try and get a little more detail of the error …

the c compiler complains about not being valid …
since lion is a whole new architecture it is worth looking at the macports migration guide
if you try and install macports 2.0 first you will get an error that you need xcode 4.1
apparently you need to install a whole new version of xcode which is now free and only available in the mac app store.
http://developer.apple.com/
you will want to install xcode and then a new pkg of macports.
you may also need to uninstall and reinstall all your old ports.
first let’s see if we can just upgrade our ports …

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
looks like a few ports have problems, such as apache2, apr, libiconv, etc …
uninstall and re-installing ports
after several attemts to upgrade and install gawk / libiconv i just gave up and followed the migration instructions.
- force uninstall everything that is installed
- clean all ports
- re-install needed ports
we can save a list of our installed ports for later use by doing the following command recommended in the macports upgrade guide
$ port -qv installed > myports.txt
also see … http://systems.takizo.com/2011/07/22/os-x-lion-macports-1/
also here is a list of current macport problems with lion
Reinstall ports
To reinstall your ports:
Save the list of installed ports:
port -qv installed > myports.txt
Uninstall all installed ports:
sudo port -f uninstall --follow-dependents installed
Clean any partially-completed builds:
sudo port clean all
Browse myports.txt and install the ports that you actually want to use (as opposed to those that are only needed as dependencies) one by one, remembering to specify the appropriate variants:
sudo port install portname +variant1 +variant2 …
Note that if you have specified variants which are not the default, you may need to install ports in an order other than the alphabetical order recorded in myports.txt.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) upgrade problems
May 2, 2010 – 1:57 pm
I’m seeing garbled display upon reboot at the login screen … also extremely high load averages when idle and logged in through ssh , display seems fine but sluggish using VNC … seems to be related to xorg and nvidia woes as usual …. why oh why can’t linux get this right finally?
Also the new desktop wallpaper looks like a 1995 photoshop lens flare disaster … “did everything just taste purple for a second?”
Update: still having problems at the moment but found some useful info in the ubuntu forums …
Update: now i got a flashing boot screen with alternating console output and strobing ubuntu purple screen … booting from the 10.04 live cd doesn’t help either, i can’t get past the first screen which is just a block. this is all made more difficult by the lack of usb support in grub loading screen and somehow i can’t ssh in anymore to tinker with xorg.conf
ubuntu 9.10 live cd to the rescue …
Update: Yay! looks like everything is finally working now … i had to boot off 9.10 live cd, install lvm2 so i could mount my old drives, then re-edit grub.conf and delete my xorg.conf. load averages are back to normal and i can ssh & vnc once again now too. 
installing mozilla raindrop on os x
October 27, 2009 – 10:37 pm
ok so i thought i would give mozilla raindrop a test … first i wanted to check it out on my laptop and them maybe install it on my ubuntu dev box after reading this article …
why not give it a shot on my laptop as well ….
follow their instructions here
$ hg clone -r 0.1 http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/raindrop
$ cd raindrop
$ ./server/python/check-raindrop.py
so after i check out the code and run their test it tells me i’m missing a few things …

this breaks because of a few bugs with python 2.6.3 as well as some conflicts with the setuptools vs distribute packages ….
weee …. so still trying to figure out where to go next or maybe just install on ubuntu …
Google Chrome Frame and you
September 25, 2009 – 5:25 pm
Ok so Google has this plug-in that just came out for IE called “Google Chrome Frame” … kinda silly name, i know. So WTF does it do and why is Google doing this? Obviously MS is not happy about it either.
Basically its a plug-in for IE that lets sites opt into using chrome for the rendering engine. This is great since IE is way behind in speed and HTML5 features. At first I wasn’t sure why Google would do this … do they really hate IE that much? Then it became clear. This is their workaround for Google wave which is an html5 app that doesn’t support any version of IE. Well now they can have their cake and eat it too.
For whatever reason people don’t want to switch or can’t switch away from IE or even upgrade for that matter. now there is a bit of light on the horizon for web developers everywhere. while this plugin might not get very wide spread usage it offers us web developers a new option in the way we deliver a web experience to users.
its as simple as adding a single tag to your page
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">
how to use it … well its kinda buggy. here are some things i have discovered so far
- must come close to top of head tag … ?
- must be added to every page
- page must not be cached … ?
- also seems using it in http headers doesn’t work the way the IE7 tag does … ?
snow leopard firewall stealth connection attempts – SHIELDS UP!
September 14, 2009 – 1:31 pm
have you noticed any weird firewall log messages since installing snow leopard? i keep seeing requests for ports 53(dns), 548(AFP), 88(Kerberos), 80(WWW) from weird ip addresses … strange thing is logs only started showing up since 29th, after installing snow leopard … i’m still not sure how any traffic would get through 2 routers (both with firewalls) and make it to my laptop which is also firewalled.
ok, so is it just me, snow leopard, comcast or am i really being hacked?

^^ keep seeing shit like that in the console log ever since SL , mostly when i’m web browsing
port 53 is dns, but why is it hitting random ports on my laptop?
this has been bugging me now for a while
also how is any traffic making it through 2 firewall/routers subnets? it was a bitch even getting p2p forwarding to my pc without configing both routers … so i don’t see how anything can make it through unless i tell it.
ok i would love not to worry but i get so much log spam from that thing … just opening a link i get all this traffic?

that’s a bit much for opening 1 url
its almost like a distributed port scanner dns service or something
some of those ip’s are private too which makes even less sense
just what the hell is going on here?
Update: ok i’ve disabled UPnP on my router and some of the log messages have dropped. also switched the main router to use OpenDNS. but i’m still seeing a few weird stealth mode requests ….

os x 10.6 (snow leopard) and macports
August 30, 2009 – 5:19 am
so a few glitches upgrading to snow leopard recently.
a couple programs didn’t work and needed to be re-installed (nambu, parallels, etc), a few issues with macports …
$ port --version
dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
while executing
"load /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib"
("package ifneeded Pextlib 1.0" script)
invoked from within
"package require Pextlib 1.0"
(file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 40)
also when trying to do a selfupdate …
$ sudo port selfupdate
dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

so we can try to re-install macports from source, should fix our problems …
$ svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/base/ macports-svn

even more troubling news …
$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
ok lets find gcc … apparently we need to re-init locate db in snow leopard as well …
$ locate gcc

looks like its sorta here

gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5484)
so even though i can run xcode.app it appears that i must re-install it from the snow leopard disc or install the iphone sdk version from apple …
ok so now we got gcc again … back to macports …
$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
$ gcc -v

ok so macports is back working, lots of things out of date … also apache2 has some issues with ssl.
a quick uninstall and re-install fixes this …
need to reinstall ncurses and readline as well as db44, db46 , gawk, libiconv, … basically repeate the following for each that has issues.
$ sudo port -f uninstall ncurses
$ sudo port clean ncurses
$ sudo port install ncurses
if you have a lot of installed mac ports it might be easier to just start from a fresh /opt/local by moving the old files out of the way and re-installing the ports you need.
seem to have problems with libemf, libvorbis as well …
if you see something like the following in the error output, it probably mean a dependancy is installed but needs to be updated first, so you might be able to upgrade it or need to uninstall, clean, re-install which seems to solve the problem
ld: symbol(s) not found
this command might also be usefull if variants are installed but need to be rebuilt first for x86_64
sudo port -fu upgrade --enforce-variants outdated
also a list of macport issues … here http://trac.macports.org/wiki/SnowLeopardProblems and here http://trac.macports.org/wiki/snc/snowleopard. also good info here http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
