Hello,
I only tried to install macports today and don't understand much in the mails i read here, so maybe I should first do some more reading, but any help would be appreciated a lot.
I have mac os x 10.4.11, installed xcode and macports, but i cannot find any .profile file.
If you installed MacPorts off any of our 1.6.0 pkg installers, then you experienced a known bug in the script that's supposed to set up your shell environment for the use with MacPorts: a shell type is not detected and therefore no actions are taken. Easiest way around it is to download the new one and run it manually: curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_1_6/base/portmg... && sudo ./postflight This will give you a MacPorts compatible environment by setting up your PATH, MANPATH and DISPLAY environment variables (you can read about how we do that at http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell). Please do let me know if you experience any problems, in which case sending me a compressed copy of your /var/log/install.log file would help a great deal. Regards,.. -jmpp
