Comment (by rui at marinheiro.org):

 I'm having the exact same problem. No .profile shows up after installing
 Macports on Leopard, using MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg.
 Before reading this Ticket, I have tried to reinstall Macport again, and
 no luck.
 Replying directly to your request:
 > Anyhow, can you still tell me the output of the `basename $SHELL`
 command?
 I also obtained the expected:[[BR]]
 {{{
 bash
 }}}

 In the /var/log/installer.log I could find the following output:[[BR]]
 {{{
 Jan 25 02:24:48 Maresia Installer[148]:         Finishing receipt
 Jan 25 02:24:48 Maresia Installer[148]: run postflight script for
 MacPorts-1.6.0
 Jan 25 02:24:48 Maresia Installer[148]: Localized installer script
 postflight found in the MacPorts-1.6.0 package. Using compatibility mode.
 Jan 25 02:24:49 Maresia runner[152]: postflight[160]: Unknown shell!
 Please set your MacPorts compatible environment manually.
 Jan 25 02:24:49 Maresia runner[152]: postflight[160]:
 Jan 25 02:24:49: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
 }}}

 I don't know if this output is expected, but for some reason the script
 can't determine which shell is being used.

 Is there any thing else I can do to fix this problem?

 Rui
