We need to see actual error messages, terminal transcripts, etc. in order to be able to begin to help you.
Are you having trouble building MacPorts itself, or have you successfully installed MacPorts and are having trouble building a port? MacPorts 2.2.0 itself should install on Tiger. MacPorts trunk currently [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- dev/2013-September/024240.html will not] but that may soon be fixed.
However, even if MacPorts can still be installed on Tiger today, Tiger is very old and MacPorts' Tiger support is on a rapid downward spiral. All Intel Macs support at least Snow Leopard and there's no good excuse not to upgrade. You'll have a much better MacPorts experience by upgrading your OS X.
Macports works fine, discounting some annoying port build failures. I shall try v2.2.0 first, then try sending detailed output. Bye-the-by, I do have a Snow-leopard laptop, but, again, I am not interested in it's 'new' features... still... Oddly, this all came about for me by becoming interested in development, again, using rsync and doing a good 'TimeMachine' for myself. Having said the above, I have often been thwarted at getting and using Git. David PS. Usefulness and experiences are not the same things :) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40382#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
