Hi,

I tried searching through the archives but couldnt find anyone with a
resolution to the following problem.

When trying to install MacPorts-1.6.0 i get the following error:

"The following install step failed: run postflight script for
MacPorts-1.6.0. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Any ideas how to fix it. I am running the following:

Max OSX: 10.5.2
Xcode: 3.0
X11: 2.1.1

My "env" output:
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man
TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal
TERM=xterm-color
SHELL=/bin/bash
TMPDIR=/var/folders/WH/WHJPAt05E0u-Gr+etwU4EE+++TI/-Tmp-/
Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-KoQ9r3/Render
TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=240
USER=ian
COMMAND_MODE=unix2003
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/launch-lmgFT8/Listeners
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
PWD=/Users/ian
SHLVL=1
HOME=/Users/ian
LOGNAME=ian
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
DISPLAY=:0.0
SECURITYSESSIONID=9125e0
_=/usr/bin/env

Funny thing is there was no /etc/X11 directory even though it is
installed. I created it and linked my .profile to it:
Macintosh:~ ian$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
source ~/.profile

Macintosh:~ ian$

Any ideas as to what im doing wrong?

Thanks
Ian
