JC I ran into this same problem and was finally able to fix it... The pkgIndex.tcl file in /opt/local/share/darwinports/pextlib1.0 (as well as in darwintrace1.0) is missing the following line: package ifneeded Pextlib 1.0 [list load [file join $dir Pextlib.dylib]] The Pextlib.dylib file is also not universal. I opened the DarwinPorts-1.3.1.pkg, extracted the Archive.pax.gz file, extracted the contents and copied the proper dylib file from there... I tried many other things trying to fix the problem, but I believe this was the actual cure for the problem. Chuck On Dec 14, 2006, at 12:30 AM, Jean-Christophe Helary wrote:
After I install the package, I do "sudo port selfupdate" but get the following message:

Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, can't find package Pextlib 1.0
Anything I missed on the way ?
I have seen several people report that. I do not understand it. There is this bug report: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10682 Does anything in that ticket help you?
I'm currently downloading XCode 2.4.1 (close to 1gb...) I'll report when I'm done.
I've installed XCode 2.4.1, reboot, re-downloaded MacPorts 1.3.1 for OSX 10.4, installed seemingly successfully but a "sudo port selfupdate" still produces the same error.
Besides, I've tried the "./configure" command for the tar package and I still get a "tcl has been compiled with the nothread option" error message that aborts the configuration.
So I am left with no way whatsoever to run macports...
