Trying to use it to load Virtualbox and it doesn't seem to work

[pdrunk@…]

So, I've used the .pkg file to install Macports and everything seemed successful. But I noticed some things when I tried to following statement:

sudo port install libidl +universal doxygen texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra cdrtools

it gave me the following error

Error: Port libidl not found

I figured I'd give the software update a try so I tried:

port -v selfupdate

and got the following errors:

--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Operation timed out (60)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/rsync/rsync-47/rsync/clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9]

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: command execution failed

I don't know how to check for the ports using the terminal (I'm a n00b.) But I believe that maybe macports isn't running or running properly on my mac.
