Do I have correct boost python installed?

Peng Yu — 2012-05-24T01:52:16

Hi,

I have boost installed.

~$ port installed|grep boost
  boost < at >1.48.0_4
  boost < at >1.49.0_0 (active)

I have the python directory.

/opt/local/include/boost$ ls -d python
python

But I don't find the library file. How to get library files installed? Thanks!

/opt/local/include/boost$ ll /opt/local/lib/libboost_py*
ls: cannot access /opt/local/lib/libboost_py*: No such file or directory

But since you insist: T. Chad Gow (google that and cf. above comment)

My only other experience with breakage caused by pixilla was the dbus
debacle, which was not tested adequately (tested against a private
version of not yet released 2.1, not the officially available release
at that time).

Clearly there is more to the story in this case than I understood, and
I jumped to conclusions.  I apologize.

It should be noted that mysql55 is a new port. It did not exist until two months ago. So I do not consider breakage in this port to be a catastrophe at this point. If the build fails for you, then you can simply continue using the previous version that you built. We are still in a transition period, from the old mysql5 port to the new mysql51 / mysql55 ports. Most users are expected to still be using the old mysql5 port, since that's what most of the other ports that require MySQL are still depending on. Bradley is in the process of preparing updates to all of those ports so that they can depend on either mysql51 or mysql55. Once that's done, the old mysql5 port will be deprecated and a proper migration path (via the replaced_by mechanism) will be available. Until then, users use mysql55 at their own risk. Of course, as Jeremy pointed out, users always use all of MacPorts at their own risk.

This particular change Bradley made was of course made with the best in

According to his comment[1] on the ticket, Bradley did do some local testing; it also successfully builds on the buildbot. It's not unreasonable that he thought it was ready to commit.

I fully support Ryan in this.

I do know that many people consider anonymity on the net important - and
I do see the value in certain cases - but I can't take a person in this
case critizising pixilla and being anonymous seriously.

MacPorts is actually provided as-is, and its contributors cannot be held liable for anything.

Re: mysql55 up and running on production

Watch Dog — 2012-05-23T23:39:56

Mistakes are one thing.  But this was a change to a working port and
the change broke a "normal install" of the port.  So it seems a safe
bet that the change was not tested adequately (maybe not at all).

Being a "volunteer" should not be equated with being unaccountable.

How to fix: revert until a proper fix is available.  Putting such an
important port in a broken state is not nice.

Re: gcc44 installs correctly but default gcc is still used

Lawrence Velázquez — 2012-05-23T21:54:45



The system-level shell startup files (/etc/{profile,zshenv,csh.login}) execute the /usr/libexec/path_helper utility, which sets the initial ${PATH}.

When constructing ${PATH}, path_helper consults the file /etc/paths and the contents of /etc/paths.d/.

Try "man path_helper" for more.

The other stuff is what PATH is normally set to.

When you do that export in .profile

you are using the old PATH variable with the $PATH part. That's where it comes from ;)
But if you wonder where the system sets this default path... then I can't help you ;)

Here's the entirety of .profile (now that I've cleaned it up):

But when I open a new terminal and echo path I get
$ echo $PATH

Still at least now /opt/local/bin are in front...  but where did the

We're all entitled to make a mistake every once in awhile. Bradley's commit privileges are not getting revoked anytime soon. I'm very grateful to Bradley for volunteering to take over the MySQL ports from me, for his work on the almost 700 other ports he maintains, and for everything else he does for MacPorts. Remember that we're volunteers here, and all we ask in return for our work on MacPorts is a little patience and occasional appreciation. Cooperation is great too: If you know how to fix #34552, by all means attach a patch to that ticket.

I changed ~/.profile to:

PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/bin/:/opt/local/sbin/"
export PATH

but something keeps adding /usr/bin, etc back in before /opt/local/bin/

$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin/:/opt/local/sbin/

I've tried to find another .profile .bash_profile or .bashrc file that
could be overriding but I can't find it?

That's a mess... 

Your issue is /opt/local/bin needs to come before /usr/bin; once the MacPorts gcc symlink is used then using `port select...` will switch it to point to the gcc you ask it to select.
