Hi mates! I am trying to install a program via MacPorts. MacPorts itself is installed correctly in version 1.400. I am using a MacBook ;), like many new users do ;). Well, when I try to install a port, I have to sync before. When I try to sync, I get the following error: port sync failed: sync failed doing rsync It doesn't mean much to me. I am sorry, but I am a new Mac User. To analyse these error, because I need darwinports ;), I installed a shareware called Port Authority, which is a GUI for MacPorts. It displays this error: Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports rsync: failed to connect to rsync.darwinports.org: Operation timed out (60) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/ rsync-24.1/rsync/clientserver.c(94) Does anybody know how to fix this error? What is the problem? Yours, Mark
