I ran the command you sent me and it seemed to work, at the end it displayed that the installation was successful. However when I run it I get this kind of error messages: $sudo /opt/local/bin/port install Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /opt/local/bin"). Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct. To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory. (you might also see this message if a pseudo-port such as outdated or installed expands to no ports).

I have installed both XCode Tools and X11 on my Mac and I am getting this failed message at the end of the installation:
Install Failed: "run postflight script"
However it seems that it makes the install into the /opt directory so when I try to run it I get this another message concerning rsync:
$maccomputer:~ userz$ sudo /opt/local/bin/port install aspell-en Warning: Can't open index file for source: rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ $maccomputer:~ userz$
Is this a known bug for Leopard or am I missing something? I had this running fine on my Tiger installation, I just updated the OS. And I am beginning to regret it...
Thanks for any help.
As I recently replied to a similar thread:
If you installed MacPorts off any of our 1.6.0 pkg installers, then you experienced a known bug in the script that's supposed to set up your shell environment for the use with MacPorts: a shell type is not detected and therefore no actions are taken. Easiest way around it is to download the new one and run it manually:
curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_1_6/base/portmg... && chmod +x postflight && sudo ./postflight
This will give you a MacPorts compatible environment by setting up your PATH, MANPATH and DISPLAY environment variables (you can read about how we do that at http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell). Please do let me know if you experience any problems, in which case sending me a compressed copy of your /var/log/install.log file would help a great deal.
