 sudo port install pythia fails on activation due to a conflict in the
 includes: Event.h
 I believe this is connected to my installation of ROOT / libevent? I can
 provide a list of my installed ports, but I am not sure how to find to
 which port the conflicting event.h belongs. Is there a way to find out?

 Cheers,

 Martin

Comment:

 The error message is a little misleading: "/Ports/include/Event.h already
 exists and does not belong to a registered port." It's true, no port
 provides Event.h, but libevent provides ${prefix}/include/event.h, which,
 on a case-insensitive filesystem like most of us use, is just as
 conflicting.

 pythia and libevent should either be marked as conflicting with one
 another, or ideally, pythia should install its files somewhere else so it
 does not conflict.
