What Mac do you have? Did you previously have a different Mac, back

Assistant to transfer everything (including MacPorts) from the old

is Intel-based, that could explain the error you're seeing, and you
should really uninstall everything and start over. You can use "port
installed" to see what ports are installed.
How will that work if the port command doesn't run?
Good question. It might not work then. We might have to dig deeper to
see what's installed. Like this:
cd /opt/local/var/macports/receipts/
find . -name receipt.bz2 | sed -E 's%^\./(.*)/(.*)/receipt\.bz2$%\1 @
\2%'
Or, for the user's version of DarwinPorts before the new layout, I
hope this is it:
cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/
find . -name receipt.bz2 | sed -E 's%^\./(.*)/(.*)/receipt\.bz2$%\1 @
\2%'
It also sounds like your PATH is not correct since it can't find the
port command.
Actually, it does seem to find it OK: if the user types 'port
<something>' and the result is
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, no
suitable image found. Did find:
/opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib:
mach-o, but wrong architecture
it sounds like the command is there but if the error message is
right, that the architecture is wrong.
It sounds to me like the user is having to run "/opt/local/bin/port"
because when just "port" is run this error was shown:

Yes I did, but it comes with the error that "port:command not found".
I feel there is some path problem. Can please guide me through the
procedure of setting the path variable in X11!
