I've been trying for a couple daze to get Darwin/MacPorts to install but still have problems. I followed the directions on the wiki http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts but when I get to the update step I get.... $ sudo port -d selfupdate DEBUG: Rebuilding the MacPorts base system if needed. DEBUG: Synchronizing ports tree(s) Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ DEBUG: /usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after rsync://rsync.macports.org/ release/ports/ /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/ release/ports rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Operation timed out (60) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/ rsync-24.1/rsync/clientserver.c(94) DEBUG: Couldn't sync the ports tree: sync failed doing rsync while executing "macports::selfupdate [array get global_options]" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: sync failed doing rsync It looks like rsync is failing to connect. Perhaps the server is too busy? Or perhaps my company firewalls are blocking it? Suggestions? Thanks Jerry Isdale isdale@avinc.com
