I Am not very acquainted with the command prompt so, go easy on me. Well I have had issues installing MacPorts, But now I have no clue. I just want to install some linux programs on my imac, and the command prompt seemed to hard for me so I installed Port Authority, which is a program for OS X that allows me to install programs via MacPorts with a GUI. But It crashes at startup. I contacted the Developer Of the program and he said that the problem lies within MacPorts. So, I have a terminal readout of the program for anyone who can understand it: /Users/andrewpphillips/Desktop/PortAuthority.app/Contents/MacOS/ PortAuthority; exit Welcome to Darwin! c-68-58-5-223:~ andrewphillips$ /Users/andrewphillips/Desktop/PortAuthority.app/Contents/MacOS/ PortAuthority; exit Error in startup script: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/ Pextlib.dylib Reason: image not found while executing "load /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib" ("package ifneeded" script) invoked from within "package_native require Pextlib 1.0" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval package_native $args" (procedure "package" line 14) invoked from within "package require Pextlib 1.0" (procedure "mportinit" line 365) invoked from within "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/ Pextlib.dylib Reason: image not found while executing "exec $portpath list" (procedure "bgGetAllPorts" line 7) invoked from within "bgGetAllPorts" (procedure "endProgress" line 7) invoked from within "endProgress" (procedure "startUp" line 21) invoked from within "startUp" (file "/Users/andrewphillips/Desktop/PortAuthority.app/Contents/MacOS/../ Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/portauthority/ portauthority-main.tcl" line 1277) invoked from within "source [file join [file dirname [info script]] portauthority-main.tcl]" (file "/Users/andrewphillips/Desktop/PortAuthority.app/Contents/MacOS/../ Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/portauthority/ portauthority.tcl" line 3) invoked from within "source /Users/andrewphillips/Desktop/PortAuthority.app/Contents/MacOS/../ Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/portauthority/ portauthority.t..."
