I would think that we should update the liblouis and liblouistdml packages on MacPorts, short of having a reliable standard installer this may be the best way for end users to get these. The current versions are out of date and will not longer install from MacPorts generating the following: gkearney$ sudo port install liblouis Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating them by running 'port selfupdate'. ---> Fetching archive for liblouis ---> Attempting to fetch liblouis-2.1.1_0.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/liblouis ---> Attempting to fetch liblouis-2.1.1_0.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/liblouis ---> Attempting to fetch liblouis-2.1.1_0.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/liblouis ---> Fetching distfiles for liblouis ---> Attempting to fetch liblouis-2.1.1.tar.gz from http://distfiles.macports.org/liblouis ---> Verifying checksums for liblouis ---> Extracting liblouis ---> Configuring liblouis ---> Building liblouis ---> Staging liblouis into destroot ---> Installing liblouis @2.1.1_0 ---> Activating liblouis @2.1.1_0 Error: org.macports.activate for port liblouis returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/liblouis.2.dylib already exists and does not belong to a registered port.
