Calm reading day
A calm reading day, after a not so calm weekend. The reading is likely to go on at home after "home cleaning" :-))Also tried again to install GV on my Mac with Leopard, some progress but no installation and the progress just makes me feel angrier! It tries to fetch it from an FTP, it is there, but it doesn't do. Then it tries 3 different places at svn.macports.org and it can't find it, BECAUSE IT IS NOT THERE!
Got it by hand, applied a patch that is posted in a ticket about this problem, configures macports to install from my local disc and it complains about a library that is missing. When you try to install the lib, it says it's already there! Even if you uninstall and reinstall the lib it keeps complaining that the lib is missing. For a matter of consistency it should know where the d*** lib is if it installed itself!
As a friend just said: "for apple, consistency is not a synonym of cute, so it can't exist". I'm starting to agree with him (of course even Safari collapsed while I was writing this post, not to mention X11 that collapses on a daily basis).
About patching the local files and configuring macports to read it. Internet information seems to be divided in two types today:
- Info from/for experts that know how to do things already
- Info FROM people that think they know something and is totally useless
For the patch, the ticket (fashion word of the moment) gives a patch, but no one tells you how to apply it. Or in the case of macports, the local configuration doesn't work with the global one ...
whatever ...
DO NOT INSTALL LEOPARD!!
