On Snow-Leopard, it seems that when I install a package, it requires to be "reinstalled" for every user. How do I do a system-wide install?

Thanks!

  • Not here. I just add ports with sudo port install and it works for every user.

By default all packages installed by MacPorts are installed within the /opt/local tree. Make sure each user either has this reflected in their path, or calls the binary with the full path.

export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin

Failing that, check to make sure the prefix variable is set correct in the macports.conf file. The global file can be found at:

/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf
