Re: problems with mac

Hi Julia,

to start the install from scratch you could run

sudo port uninstall installed

maybe several times. Then

sudo port install pspp

to recover from any misconfigured or incomplete packages. Then test

pspp --version

This should look like this

pool8021x172-7:~ fritz$ pspp --version

pspp (GNU PSPP) 0.10.1-geba86b

You should be able to start pspp with gui from the terminal with

psppire

To see if you have any previous version installed somewhere, you could try

which pspp

pool8021x172-7:~ fritz$ which pspp

/opt/local/bin/pspp

pool8021x172-7:~ fritz$ 

This shows you that pspp is installed in /opt/local/bin where it is supposed to be. pspp will not be visible in the

„Program“ folder where programs are usually installed. So you have to start pspp from the terminal.

Julia,

When I google this error, it suggests that the following commands may bypass the error about installing Python27:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port clean python27
$ sudo port install python27

These commands (1) update the ports software; (2) "clean up" any old phython27 files; and (3) attempt to install python again. Actually, I cannot tell whether Python is failing to install or if you just need it installed, but the above three commands should work regardless.

If these three commands run without error, you then need to repeat the commands that produced the error output.

The output of your PATH command contains the directory /opt/local/bin; so that looks good.

Hi again,

when I ran port install poppa-devel I got several error messages:

error: Failed to install python27

Please see the log file for port python27 for details:

    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_python27/python27/main.log

Error: The following dependencies were not installed: python27

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade cairo failed

when I ran the echo $PATH

I got this:

juliaklausli$ echo $PATH

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

I have also run the port install PSPP but I only have a folder with many files that is names PSPP 0.10.1 3 but I cannot open the actual program.

Thanks,

Julia
