Hello,

These remarks are totally insightful. In fact, my machine did experience
lots of problems with its Mac OS. The reason might be my installation of
several versions of "Ocaml".

So I would like to follow your advice, to uninstall MacPorts and all ports.
It seems that it is quite an impressing step, according to the mac port
guide.

I wonder whether should I take close attention to something special before
the uninstallation of that many ports and Macport itself?

Thanks again.

Zell.

Uninstalling MacPorts can be a drastic step, and depending on the issue you
are experiencing, you may not need to do so. If you are unsure, ask on the
macports-users<http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users>mailing
list first.

If you need to uninstall MacPorts, and your *port* command is functioning,
first uninstall all the installed ports by running this command in the
Terminal:
