As far as I know this should work fine. What is the output of "uname -r" on your system?

Note the MacPorts command line program is called "port" not "ports".

10.2.0

Sorry, didn't realize about the 's' bit.

Ok, so your uname command is fine. What about your sed command? This is what the installer package runs to determine if your OS version is correct:

uname -r | sed 's/\..*//'

What output does that produce? The response the installer package is looking for on Snow Leopard is the number 10.

You nailed it, it was definitely sed that was giving problems. I installed via source, and still had problems... Realized it was a sed issue. Thank you so much!

Ok, glad we found it! If you haven't already fixed your sed, you can probably do so by copying it back from your Mac OS X DVD.
