[KDE/Mac] Re: Incorrect MacPorts message

[Leif Halvard Silli]

Hi Ian,

I did read those messages before posting. The page 
http://community.kde.org/Mac is super! However, those who try to 
install Mac KDE by using Mac Ports, will only continue to give up/get 
frustrated unless the port messages itself is correct.

So, just so it is clear: I was referring to the message that the 
Terminal spits out during KDE installation.

(I chose to post under another topic because correcting the Mac Ports 
message is different from operating a web page about KDE installation. 
But perhaps that was very unwise of me - the two subjects are closely 
related. For instance, I doubt that the communitiy pages etc would have 
mattered so much had it not been for the fact the Mac Ports 
installation message is incorect ...)

So, please, if there are someone involved in the ports package 
creation, please try to correct that port message that I cited below.

Leif
