Welcome to MacPorts, Marion. I'm sending this reply to the macports- 
users mailing list, where you should continue the topic if necessary.  
Subscribe to the list first so that your posts will be accepted. The

owners of the list and you would be better served by interacting with  
the entire community.

What you describe was a problem with the MacPorts 1.6.0 installer,  
but if you are using the latest version of MacPorts, 1.7.0, you  
should not see this problem anymore. You can read about the problem  
and the various ways to fix it in the problem hotlist in the wiki:
