I was trying to install libxml2 on OSX 10.6.3 using mac ports.

sudo port install libxml2

Macports died with an error

Error: Unable to open port: invalid command name "livecheck.type"
livecheck.type seems to be a new command in Macports 1.8.0. Upgrading to Macports 1.8.0 solves the problem.

To upgrade use

sudo port selfupdate


Dont forget you’ll need to install Xcode or you’ll get this error message

configure: error: in `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

This is an handy tip if you are having problems getting Speed Download 5 for Macintosh OS X to remember your RapidShare username/password. Within the preferences window of Speed Download 5 select Passwords and delete all current entries for rapidshare.com. Make a new entry with the following settings and hit Save.

Server: *.rapidshare.com
Path /
Type HTTP
Username: Rapidshareusername
Password: Rapidsharepassword

Next time you use Speed Download it will remember your rapidshare user credentials and begin downloading.

A friend of mine has an “old” iBook G4 and was trying to get it to connect to her wireless network via Airport, however she couldn’t establish a connection, after trying to manually type IP details into the Network Preferences pain and having no luck, then renewing the DHCP details with no luck I thought id hit a brick wall.

The issue is an obvious one that only seems to affect 10.5.2 and the fix is very simple, its the firewall that is causing the issue. Within System Preferences under the Security section, tab to Firewall and set it too “Allow all incoming connections”, this will then magically fix the DHCP issue, now the internet connection is working it can be updated to the latest version of Leopard (10.5.8)
