Comment (by cherryblossom.field17@…):
Thanks for the reply! I uninstalled everything related to MacPorts on my
laptop. (I had to use the bulky code at the bottom of the page.) It
doesn't seem as if anything related to dbus remains anywhere on my Mac. I
also deleted the MacPorts installation package. I should add that several
things under MacPorts, like Python, were installed in another folder on my
MacBook, which I only found using Launchpad.
As to why this file already exists on my system, I can think of a few
reasons. I accidentally installed MacPorts the wrong way at first (i.e.
before installing XCode and the command line) and tried installing GIMP on
my laptop. I thought that this was the source of my problems, so I
uninstalled MacPorts and deleted XCode, which I had installed too late in
the game. When I made sure that there was nothing related to either on my
laptop, I reinstalled/redownloaded everything the right way. It finally
seemed as if GIMP would be installed properly, but I started getting these
error messages, so I kind of got desperate and uninstalled and reinstalled
MacPorts on my laptop several times. I don't know whether these have had
any effect on what's been happening.
What should I do now?
