Description

Ordinary programmers at NASA Ames do not get root privileges. So I tried to install MacPorts 2.3.4 from source in my home directory: 

./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-no-root-privileges
make install

And encountered this failure: 

===> making install in doc
/usr/bin/install -c -d -o cfry -g NDC\Domain Users -m 0755 "/Users/cfry"
install: NDCDomain: Invalid argument
make[1]: *** [install] Error 67
make: *** [install] Error 1
rdnzl:MacPorts-2.3.4 cfry$

Yes, my account's group name is 'NDC\Domain Users'.

tcl installed just fine prior to this.

Guess I'll have to find a sysadmin and play "Mother May I" again.
