- Thread-topic: Resizing X11 windows across 3 monitors
I found some good instructions at: http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~eoster/osxx11/
Now I get:
[sampsont:~] sampsont% sudo port -d selfupdate
Password:
DEBUG: Rebuilding the darwinports base system if needed.
Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports
rsync: failed to connect to rsync.darwinports.org: Operation timed out (60)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at
/SourceCache/rsync/rsync-20/rsync/clientserver.c(94)
DEBUG: Couldnt sync dports tree: sync failed doing rsync
while executing
"darwinports::selfupdate [array get global_options]"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Couldnt sync dports tree:
sync failed doing rsync
I think maybe I'm not getting through our proxy. Has anyone had, (and
solved), this problem?
