Activating stalls

Hi I have a Leopard and until some time ago, port worked fine. At the moment, I have a problem with activation. I mean, any package compiles correctly, installs on destroot, and everything, but the 'activating' line appears, and no more information is given. It just freezes. I tried to get with 'top' information about the stalled process, but I did not find anything suspicious. Any hint on what might be happening? Thanks Alberto PS: Also, why 'man' does not find the 'port' manpage? I think this worked correctly on my old Tiger.... :-S -- Alberto Simões
