I recently upgraded to osx lion and when I now try to use xmllint I get the following error:
Wilberts-MacBook-Pro:mess-trunk wilbert$ xmllint
Launch of "xmllint" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported.
Wilberts-MacBook-Pro:mess-trunk wilbert$ which xmllint
/opt/local/bin/xmllint
How do I fix this?
Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Lion does not support PPC-only software. The version of xmllint you have installed is apparently not compatible with Intel hardware.
Fix: Update xmllint to an Intel compatible version. Snow Leopard and Lion install their own version of xmllint that is compatible, so either you've upgraded over a really old version of OS X or installed your own copy of xmllint.
The one installed on my system works perfectly.
Oh, and mine is located in /usr/bin/.
Update your MacPorts installation to the current version and rebuild all your ports.
I started out with 10.3 and have been upgrading an migration through a few versions since then.
I kind of expected the OSX migration wizard to fix this for me and overwrite any unsupported with it's own working copy of that executable. My question still remains, how do I get Lion to put back it's own, working, copy of xmllint?
@Kappy:
Btw, the /usr/bin one is a hard link to /opt/local/bin/xmllint.
Anything in /opt has nothing to do with Lion. That's all stuff you installed.
Btw, the /usr/bin one is a hard link to /opt/local/bin/xmllint.
If that's true, then you overwrote the system binary. Boot from your recovery partition and reinstall the Mac OS.
