 Hi all,

 newbie to macports / mac.  I'm trying to install xemacs and macvim
 (overkill, I know, since I should just choose one).  Anyway, if I have one
 activated and try to install/activate the other, I get:
 {{{
 --->  Activating xemacs @21.4.22_2
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error:
 /opt/local/bin/ctags is being used by the active ctags port.  Please
 deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate xemacs' to force the
 activation.
 Log for xemacs is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_registry_portfiles_xemacs_21.4.22_2/main.log
 Warning: Failed to execute portfile from registry for xemacs @21.4.22_2
 --->  Activating xemacs
 Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/bin/ctags is being
 used by the active ctags port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use
 'port -f activate xemacs' to force the activation.
 }}}

 The log file doesn't have any more information.  I did have a weird python
 install, if that makes a difference.  I installed python2.7 from their
 website as a normal installer, and it put it's own path in my .profile.
 So python actually linked to 2.7 instead of what macports thought.

 But besides that everything is fairly standard.
