#15989: Super-easy install of MacPorts doesn't work
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------

Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: install, port |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
I have a MacBook Pro with a dead-stock, plain vanilla, up-to-date
installation of Leopard (and Xcode). I ran the 1.6.0 installer (twice,
actually), and it reported success (both times).
But when I tried this (another "super-easy" install):
sudo port install ImageMagick
(as recommended on the ImageMagick site)
all I get after putting in my password is
sudo: port: command not found
And here's the output from
ls -l /opt/local
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 7 root admin 238 Jul 14 18:08 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Dec 16 2007 etc
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 14 18:08 include
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 14 18:08 lib
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 14 18:08 libexec
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 9 Jul 14 18:08 man -> share/man
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 14 18:08 sbin
drwxr-xr-x 6 root admin 204 Dec 16 2007 share
drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Jul 14 18:01 var
You'll notice there is no "port" command. It seems to actually be in
/opt/local/bin/. Result of ls -l /opt/local/bin:
total 344
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root admin 73568 Dec 16 2007 daemondo
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root admin 83411 Dec 16 2007 port
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Jul 14 18:08 portf -> port
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root admin 4356 Dec 16 2007 portindex
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root admin 2530 Dec 16 2007 portmirror
Here's the result of echo $PATH:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
I guess a *nix guru would know what to do, but I'm not one.
Why didn't this "super-easy" install work?
