I can not install anything with macport

[iodice.sara@…]

I have a mac book pro with mac OS X 10.6.7. I can not install anything with macport.

For example, if I try to execute "sudo port install opencv", I have this error:

--->  Installing bzip2 @1.0.6_0
Error: Target org.macports.install returned: /usr/bin/tar: invalid option -- q
Try `/usr/bin/tar --help' for more information.
Error: Failed to install bzip2

This is the log file:

Apparently your /usr/bin/tar is a GNU tar, not a BSD one. Please restore the tar binary shipped with OS X.

How can I do this?

The bug tracker is not an appropriate place for asking support questions, as mentioned in comment:2.
