Hi everybody!

I tried to install amarok in Mac OS X.5, but it failed :-( I downloaded the MacPorts .pkg file, installed it, ran terminal, entered  sudo port install amarok, entered my password. But then there always comes the following text:

--->  Configuring cmake
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_cmake/work/cmake-2.6.4" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/share/man --docdir=/share/doc/cmake " returned error 6

What does this mean? I only have the MacBook for about three months, I do not know if Xcode is installed (and not how to check on that). Is that required?

Thanks for your help,

You need to have gcc installed.  The best and simple method is indeed to install the Developer Tools from Apple (Xcode is part of that package). 

There is a copy on the OS X Install DVD (The Leopard one will have it), which should work fine.  If you want the latest version, you can get it from Apple, but you need to sign up for an ADC account (free) from here.

Once it's installed, you should be able to install and build the ports, though Amarok might give you some problems (like with mysql).

To really verify whether gcc is installed, you can enter at the terminal:
which gcc

If you get nothing back (most likely the case right now), it's not installed.
