<p>I can't install mercurial. I am getting this error -</p>
<pre><code> ---> Computing dependencies for mercurial<br>
Error: Unable to execute port: can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it?

Either that or it can't find it in one of the directories that it lists in path. </p>
<p>You can verify if you have make just by typing 'make -v' in a Terminal. </p>

<p>Moreover, have you installed the Mac development kit? (Macintoshes, like Windows machines, do not normally come with development software installed.) If so, have you moved anything later?</p>

<p>I would suggest going the easy_install route.</p>
<pre><code>$ sudo easy_install -U mercurial

Since MacPorts builds its ports from source (at least mine does, and yours seems to also), you'll also need to install the Mac OS X developer tools. You can do this by finding your Mac OS X install disc and <a href="http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/XcodeCoexistence/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Basics/Basics.html" rel="nofollow">installing Xcode from it</a>.</p>

<p>Please try one of our <a href="http://mercurial.berkwood.com/" rel="nofollow">binary packages for Mac OS X</a>. Normal users should not be bothered with installing compilers and make just to use Mercurial...</p>
<p>Also, <code>easy_install</code> route is anything but easy unless you have a compiler and the required Python header files installed since <code>easy_install</code> will want to compile the C extensions we use. Better to stick with a binary package, IMHO.</p>
