Thanks. What is normal to you?
I don't recall using a prefix, but ran both installers from their default location which happened to be /opt/local, also I did not choose /Applications/MacPorts as applications_dir tocreate the package in the first place. Both installs were left at default setting. It seems I now have a decision to make and some files to delete. I don't want to distribute, but there is no Mac pkg available for this (latest) version of mypaint. As the earlier version has serious functional deficits (no pressure sensitivity) I am glad to make it available. However, I am not sure how or where to do this. I have posted a note on a mypaint forum. Perhaps someone will tell me. Thanks again to you, all. -A -----Original Message----- From: Rainer Müller <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:32 Subject: Re: Fwd: macports instal pkg - alert msg On 2013-10-11 12:22, [email protected] wrote: > I have completed first 'successful' MacPorts instal, but something seems > not to be quite right. > > What have I done, and how do I put it right? > > Following the MacPorts guide, I ran (and I am not sure I needed to do > this); sudo port pkg mypaint Creating a pkg is only necessary if you want to redistribute this package. Otherwise just use a normal installation: sudo port install mypaint In case you really want to redistribute this package, you should not use /opt/local as prefix and /Applications/MacPorts as applications_dir to create the package in the first place. Please choose a different prefix to avoid conflicts. > [...] > I seem to have a duplicate tree structure within destroot. Is this as it > should be?

Then it was probably not created by a default MacPorts installation, which uses /opt/local.
