Hi all,
I'm getting this error no matter what I try to do! I was trying to
install or uninstall the boost libary, then frusterated that I kept
getting
"`Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock`"
afterwards, tried to uninstall my whole macports and can't even do that.
Help!
{{{
$ sudo port -f uninstall installed
Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock
}}}
Thanks so much!

Comment:
"`Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/macports/registry/.registry.lock`"
means MacPorts is already running and doing things. You could check for
any running "port" processes in Activity Monitor. Wait until these tasks
are finished (or terminate them if you don't care that they don't finish)
before trying to do other things with MacPorts.
