Hi, I have decided to re-install OSX from installation DVD. I have re-installed XCode, and MacPorts 1.5 from source. I have been able to install ports like wget, after whole reinstallation process . I have also re-installed all OSX updates, after that. BTW, when I tried to install rb-rails after all above, I had issue but "sudo port -fn upgrade rb-rubygems" did the trick, as Boey Maun Suang mentioned in " Re: problems with port that use ruby gem to install." post on June 11, 2007.

What is the output of which whoami and ls -l /usr/bin/whoami
If no whoami command can not be found, you probably need to reinstalled the BSD subsystem from your OS X installation DVD.

Hi, Has anyone seen such error? Can someone please help me solve the error?
When trying selfupdate or install a port, I got error stated in subject. I have checked mailing lists and googled for the error but I couldn't find any similar incident.
This happend on 1.4.0, so I have wiped the installation as shown in http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts . Then installed 1.5.0 from source. The error still occurs and I cannot selfupdate nor install any ports.
If you require any other information, please let me know.
= Here is output of the selfupdate
sudo port -d selfupdate .. ..
