hello ryan,,
thanx for the advisement, and i'll take that into consideration, but as i said
in my original e-mail, all i did was download the MacPorts 1.9.1 pkg install on
the *.dmg file off your MacPorts site and run it. i didn't change any settings
in the macports.conf file, i have not installed a previous version of MacPorts
or its expat before today, and i know of know other applications that installed
and "i386" expat on my machine or on previous machines i've had (they may have,
but before i came across it in MacPorts, i'd never heard of the "expat"
before). so i don't know what to tell you there.
sincerely,
