Hi,I installed macport on my desktop which I do not have root access. The configure I used is:
./configure --prefix=/Users/wen/macport --with-no-root-privileges --with- install-user=wen --with-macports-user=wen --with-install-group=nogroup
after installing MacPort, I tried to use it to port cmake and qt5, but it can not find cmake:
hollyhock:bin wen6$ port install cmake
Error: Port cmake not found
It happens to others too, qt5, vim...
I tried to update the tree, but I get the error:
hollyhock:bin wen6$ port sync
---> Updating the ports tree
Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
port sync failed: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed
Can you help me so I can use MacPort?

Run `port -v sync` to see why the sync failed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48179#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
