    81 Contrary to the documentation, after a fresh installation of MacPorts 1.6.0, the .profile is not set up, and users aren't able to just type the "port" command. Users must set up the .profile manually. This is a bug in the 1.6.0 installer. This will be fixed in the next release of MacPorts.
     81After a fresh installation of MacPorts 1.6.0, the `.profile` is not set up as it should be, with the consequence that the shell says the `port` command is not found when you try to use it. This is [ticket:13742 a bug in the 1.6.0 installer]. It will be fixed in the next release of MacPorts.

     83To work around the problem, run the postflight script manually, like this:
     84
     85{{{
     86curl -Lo postflight http://tinyurl.com/2qqbth && bash postflight
     87}}}
     88
     89(The TinyURL points to [browser:branches/release_1_6/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight this file])

     91You could also set up your `.profile` manually, as [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell explained in the Guide].
