    initial v1  
    1 I'm not sure why this is failing for you but it must be something unusual about the way you're installing MacPorts; it works find for everybody else.

    33The MacPorts user should not be "root"; it should be a user with normal (not superuser) privileges, usually called "macports", to which MacPorts can drop to ensure that ports don't do things to your system that they're not supposed to do. I know the binary installer pkg will create this user for you if you don't already have it; I don't remember if building from source will do so. If you haven't ever used the binary installer, this might be the problem. You could use the binary installer, or manually create the "macports" user.
