QUESTION :
I tried to install PostgreSQL server development libraries using MacPorts and got the following:
Warning: MacPorts running without privileges. You may be unable to complete certain actions (e.g. install).
---> Computing dependencies for postgresql-server-devel
---> Dependencies to be installed: postgresql-devel
---> Building postgresql-devel
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: postgresql-devel
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
So I guess that means I need to running MacPorts with privileges and try again. Unfortunately I’ve no idea how to give MacPorts privileges.
I’m running OS X 10.6.3
ANSWER :
sudo port <commands>
