Hi Josh,<div><br></div><div>Thanks very much for your reply.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't see any clear instructions for libSVM at <a href="http://trac.macports.org/wiki/DarwinPorts" target="_blank">http://trac.macports.org/wiki/DarwinPorts</a>, unfortunately. Am I missing something?</div>
<div><br></div><div>My concern about libsvm is that none of the linux commands are working on it (man, which, locate, etc). Does that mean that there's a problem?</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I'm not sure what you mean about the PATH. Is this a variable that I need to change? I was just referring to which directories were created by the installer.</div>

</div>That site contains a lot of incorrect information. See<br>

</div>This is unnecessary at best.<br>

</div>Looks like libsvm is already installed.<br>

<br>
</div>You'll want /opt/local/bin in your PATH.<br>
"/opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports" is nonsense.<br>
