Component:  base                  |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  make install failure  |       Port:
----------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Ordinary programmers at NASA Ames do not get root privileges. So I tried
 to install MacPorts 2.3.4 from source in my home directory:

 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-no-root-privileges
 make install
 }}}

 And encountered this failure:

 {{{
 ===> making install in doc
 /usr/bin/install -c -d -o cfry -g NDC\Domain Users -m 0755 "/Users/cfry"
 install: NDCDomain: Invalid argument
 make[1]: *** [install] Error 67
 make: *** [install] Error 1
 rdnzl:MacPorts-2.3.4 cfry$
 }}}

 Yes, my account's group name is 'NDC\Domain Users'.

 tcl installed just fine prior to this.

 Guess I'll have to find a sysadmin and play "Mother May I" again.
