Thanks. I did sudo port -d install gimp, and I get this output, seemingly ad infinitum:

To use a technical expression, that looks pretty well hosed up. What does "port installed" look like? It looks like perhaps your receipts got messed with somehow, and that's how MacPorts keeps track of what's installed and what files make up each port's contents. I have had this happen when I ran out of space and the receipt for a port (or ports) could not be written to disk. It's unpleasant. Show up "port installed" and we'll see if that jibes with what you should have. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@mac.com>
