MAMP installation fails over libxml on MacBook SOLVED

[Elise van Looij]

After struggling for a few days and getting nowhere, I decided to  
make a fresh start. When I got my MacBook I took advantage of a very  
handy OSX feature, namely the offer to hook it up via firewire to my  
old iBook and have everything automatically copied. This worked  
great, within three hours all my user info, documents, programs,  
bookmarks etc. had been transferred to the new laptop and I could  
practically continue where I left off, except for my MAMP  
installation. I don't know whether it was the copying process itself  
or my decision to install MacPorts all over again, but anyway  
everything I did seemed to result in error messages noone else was  
getting.
Fed up with everything I located the /opt folder (it was not visible  
in te Finder until I used Spotlight to find it) and threw the whole  
shebang in the wastebasked, restarted the machine, made sure personal  
webserver was shut down in System Preference, and reinstalled  
MacPorts, Apache, MySQL, Subversion and PHP. This time everything  
went off without a single error message. I'm not up and running yet  
(for some reason the httpd.conf is not yet configured right), but at  
least this whole libxml2 nonsense is over.
