Could some help know why the discrepancy between the macport message that it does not need updating and the no ports installed.
There is no discrepancy. Read more below for why.
I'm a newbie trying to install macports so i can run rtorrents however i seem to get the message no ports installed despite getting no problems with port self update and port sync. Below are the messages I receive when I try to install rtorrents. i'm running Mac OS X 10.4.10 powerbook g4 1.5
powerbook:~ maurice$ sudo port selfupdate MacPorts base version 1.5 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.5 The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated selfupdate done!
"selfupdate" updates your ports tree and your MacPorts base software. You already had the latest MacPorts base software so no update was necessary.

"sync" just updates your ports tree. So now you have the most current port definitions and can install any port you like.

When i look at whether i have any ports installed. i get the message there are none.
powerbook:~ maurice$ port -d installed No ports are installed.
rtorrent requires many other ports, including pkgconfig, and an error was encountered while trying to install pkgconfig, so the installation was aborted. Therefore no ports have been installed.
You need to correct the error MacPorts encountered:
Command output: sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory
Please verify whether you have /usr/bin/gnutar. If you do not, then your Mac OS X installation is incomplete. I believe gnutar is provided by either BaseSystem.pkg or Essentials.pkg from the Mac OS X DVD, both of which are quite essential to Mac OS X's functioning. What version of Mac OS X are you on, on what Mac?
