> I have no "Finch" directory. when it wouldn't upgrade, I thought it
would be easier to just uninstall it, then reinstall it, but it won't
compile to reinstall. I've been looking through the directory that Finch
was in, going through any file I've got that has "port" in the name, but
can't find one line that says "configure.args" to add --disable-dbus to.
I may be looking in the wrong place, I figured as you said "port dir
finch" you meant the directory that finch was in. So I've been going
through every "port" related file in opt/local/bin.
He meant you should type exactly the characters "`open $(port dir finch)`"
(without the quotation marks) into a Terminal window. This will open into
the Finder the directory containing the finch Portfile which you can then
open in your favorite editor and change as per his instructions. But those
instructions are no longer necessary since the port has already been
updated. Simply type "`sudo port selfupdate`" (without the quotes) to get
the new version and then install the port as usual.

> Alternative fix. I entered "sudo port --disable-dbus install finch",
and that changed the portfile, and allowed Finch to successfully install.
Sorry if my inexperience has been a pain, I'm still learning.
That can't have done anything helpful. The "`port`" command does not have
a "`--disable-dbus`" option; rather, finch's configure script does. If you
were able to install finch, then you already had the updated Portfile. On
my system, trying to use `port --disable-dbus install finch` gives this
error message, as well it should:
{{{
global does not accept --disable-dbus
while executing
"parse_options "global" ui_options global_options"
(file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 3172)
}}}
