macports installation problem

[sica@…]

I recently upgraded to leopard. I installed X11 and the X11 Xcode v3.0. I installed macports and it said it was successful. /opt/local exists, as does ./bin, which has the port executable in it. However it won't run, even if I sudo in the subdirectory I still get "command" not found. Also man port doesn't work (No manual entry for port). This looks like a "rehash" problem (?) but I don't know how to do that in Darwin. I checked, the only .bash file in my home directory is .bash_history. There is a .profile but all that is in it is pman() { man -t "${1}" | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app/ }

This is a single user MacBook with all the latest Leopard updates on it.

Please help, if I can get you any more information let me know. I'm trying to install this so I can easily install the new version of Gimp.

There is a known bug in the installer for Leopard. Please either see ​http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell how to setup it manually, or run this command:

curl -O http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_1_6/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight && chmod +x postflight && ./postflight
