no actual installation actually happens. when i type port installed the terminal returns "no ports installed"

i also tried other portfiles to install, but still the same thing happens

Can you try sudo port -d install jpeg to enable full debug output, that way we can see if it's doing/saying anything at all?

[rap_bellarmine@…]

i already tried it. still nothing happens. the same output as port install jpeg..

btw, i'm using MAC OS X 10.5.6, Xcode 3.1. maybe this information may help solve the problem.

You aren't just hitting return when it asks for your password, are you? Doing that will cause sudo to not do anything, hence, port won't be run.
