+----[ Anthony M. Agelastos <iqgrande@gmail.com> (05.Feb.2006 10:47): | | Hello all, Hi, | I recently tried to install a bunch of scientific software. Two such | packages are opendx and grace (you can tell that I like data | visualization). In any event, opendx has hdf as a dependency and | grace has netcdf as one. After installing opendx, I tried installing | grace and I get the message that | | netcdf-3.6.0p1 conflicts with installed package(s): | hdf-4.2r1 | | They install files into the same place. | Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1). | | Why do they install files into the same place this can be broken down to: i) they provide files with the same name ii) they install to the same place, because the default place for installing stuff is the same (/usr/local) for all ports. but actually the problem is the clash in file names. | and what can be done so | that they can coexist on the same machine (without any problems)? the long term solution is to talk to the upstream authors and show them the clash in file names, to see if they can fix it. the short term solution is to install one of the conflicting port into another place, i.e. cd math/grace make install PREFIX=/usr/local/grace you will have to add /usr/local/grace/bin to your path, but it will work. Preferably, you'd like to install into another PREFIX ports that provide just executables. If they also provide include files and/or shared libraries that other ports depend upon, then I suppose it's not as easy. | Thank you for your assistance. You're welcome. Good luck, Fernan | -Anthony | +----]
