Hello Guys, when i try installing Pallet i get:

sudo port install Pallet
--->  Computing dependencies for Pallet

Error: org.macports.fetch for port Pallet returned: Subversion check out failed
Please see the log file for port Pallet for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_sysutils_Pallet/Pallet/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: Processing of port Pallet failed

I got Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and Macports 2.1.1 How to fix that?

Please attach the main.log file mentioned in the error message.

The log says:

:info:fetch dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
:info:fetch   Referenced from: /usr/bin/svn
:info:fetch   Reason: image not found

So there is something wrong with your system's svn command: it is trying to use libpq.5.dylib, but according to the error message that library does not exist. My /usr/bin/svn on Snow Leopard does not link with any libpq.dylib. libpq.dylib is part of PostgreSQL, and I didn't think Snow Leopard even shipped with PostgreSQL. This suggests you have replaced Apple's /usr/bin/svn with someone else's. Please restore Apple's /usr/bin/svn from your backups or by reinstalling the OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update and all subsequent security updates and other Apple updates.

Alternately, you may be able to bypass the broken system copy of Subversion by installing the subversion port ("sudo port install subversion").
