I'm not sure why the postinstall script failed, and unfortunately the installer hasn't provided us any information to help diagnose it.

The good news is that if you got to the point where the installer would run the postinstall script, MacPorts has been successfully installed. Depending on where the postinstall script failed, you may need to do some of the steps it would have done for you, such as adding the macports user and group, adding /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin to your shell's PATH variable and running "sudo port selfupdate".

You can run "dscl . read /Users/macports" to see if the macports user has been added. Hopefully it has. If not, let us know.

I think we have to close this because there's no information to go on. It works for everyone else.
