Dear all,
I would appreciate your help on the following problem. I want to  
uninstall MacPorts, since I installed it before installing X11 and  
Xcode. Now, the problem is that although I follow the command line  
below, I get the error:

rm: illegal option -- /
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ...
        unlink file

The problem is that I have not used any "--" in the terminal command.  
The command line I used is the following (copy+pasted) from the web  
page.



  sudo rm -rf \
     /opt/local \
     /etc/manpaths.d/macports \
     /etc/paths.d/macports \
     /Applications/DarwinPorts \
     /Applications/MacPorts \
     /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
     /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
     /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
     /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
     /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
     /Library/Tcl/macports1.0


I would really appreciate your help on this. Is there any possible  
command line to solve the problem? Specifically, is there any command  
line that uninstalls the MacPort successfully under these circumstances?

Thank you,
Chris
