As one of the former fink users, I'll be happy to see your FAQ additions. I tried to install MacPorts before I blew away /sw and edited .profile. Since then, I've un-installed and re-installed MacPorts a couple of times with the same result (appended below). Help would be appreciated.

Once you've removed the fink stuff from your .profile, as you have, I would think this problem must be unrelated to a former Fink install. Do you have a manual install of Tcl/tk? http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10682 Mark Mark
