Unable to install Berkeley DB v6: conflicting install ... how??

[Frederick C. Lee]

Thanks for the quick reply:

I followed your suggestion and moved: /bin, /lib & /include directories from
the /usr/local to the desktop.
{I couldn't find which file was causing the problem so I moved their
directories.}

Then I re-installed the db46 (using force, verbose & clean):

[/Users/Ric]sudo port

MacPorts 1.8.1

Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)

[Users/Ric] > install -f -v -c db46

--->  Computing dependencies for db46

--->  Extracting db46

--->  Applying patches to db46

--->  Configuring db46

--->  Building db46

--->  Staging db46 into destroot

--->  Installing db46 @4.6.21_6

--->  Activating db46 @4.6.21_6

--->  Cleaning db46

... as you see, it went well.

New /bin, /iib & /include directories weren't recreated; so I'll return the
originals intact.
I hope there won't be further conflicts.

Ric.
