Problem getting macports to work !

[maria18t@…]

MacPorts running without privileges. You may be unable to complete certain actions (e.g. install).
Error: Requested variants "+universal" do not match original selection "+ssl+universal".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean fetchmail' or specify the force option (-f).
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

So... you were trying to install fetchmail? Did you try to clean fetchmail, as the error message said?

Unless you specifically installed MacPorts to run as a different user, MacPorts runs as root, which means you must prefix your "port" commands with "sudo", as in "sudo port install fetchmail" or "sudo port clean fetchmail". (The notice "MacPorts running without privileges" means you were not doing this.)
