Should I uninstall the whole thing and start from the beginning or is
there any other way?
I have tried this command
cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/
find . -name receipt.bz2 | sed -E 's%^\./(.*)/(.*)/receipt\.bz2$%
\1 @\2%'
but I do not know what to do next!
Please let me know an easier way out of this mess!

Tania, I think Paul wanted you to copy the results of that command (or
the other one he gave you) and tell it to us.
However looking at error output above shows a reference to /opt/local/
share/darwinports/ ............
There is no darwinports directory in my own installation (version
1.52) and I dont think the term "darwinports" has been used anywhere
in a very long time since the Project is now called MacPorts. This
suggests you have a [b] very [/b] old version of the Macports system.
Others can tell you if its updatable.
If you bash shell told you command not found when you tried to do sudo
port -d selfupdate then your path is surely wrong. So you have two
problems. Were you in an xterm window or a Terminal window? were you
logged in?
if you try the command env you will see yor environment values printed
on screen. PATH should START:
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:bunch_of_other_stuff
Does it?

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$%
\1 @
\2%'
Watch the line-wrap: that \2% should stay on the same line. Same
below . . .
.
Or, for the user's version of DarwinPorts before the new layout, I
hope this is it:
cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/
find . -name receipt.bz2 | sed -E 's%^\./(.*)/(.*)/receipt\.bz2$%
\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!
