I do all the time at my work with no issue. I set the following environment variables: export http_proxy=http://proxy.server.com:port export ftp_proxy=http://proxy.server.com:port export RSYNC_PROXY=proxy.server.com:port Everything works fine for me after that including syncs. I don't know if they are supported, but I have also seen https_proxy and no_proxy environment variables used in other environments. https_proxy works like http_proxy. no_proxy is a comma delineated list of domains not to proxy.

Hmm yes I did change sources.conf while trying to get macports to work though the proxy at work. I gave up, a month ago. Interestingly this global change only affected a few ports.
Thanks for the help I expect the problem will disappear now. Is there a way to use macports though a proxy?
Geoff.

I am running OSX 10.4.9 on ppc and have run selfupdate. This error has been happening for well over a month I get the same error with freetype (Makefile:54: *** target pattern contains no `%'. ) and I think a few other ports. I have done full cleans.
I haven't heard of this problem before... I have no problem installing ncursesw or freetype on 10.4.9 on PowerPC or Intel.
Do you have the latest version of Xcode, 2.4.1? If not, get it from Apple Developer Connection.
Searching for this error on Google I get this message:

It seems that this error can occur if your path contains a colon, and it looks like yours does:
/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.macports.org: 873_dpupdate_dports_devel_ncursesw
We need to get that colon out of there. How did it get there? Did you change your rsync definition in /opt/local/etc/ports/ sources.conf to include a colon and the port number? If so, remove that again.
