It's interesting that you don't have those files on your system. Yes, I am unable to install anything with macports. With this example:
daves-macbook:~ dave$ sudo port install git-core ---> Computing dependencies for git-core ---> Dependencies to be installed: curl curl-ca-bundle perl5 perl5.8 libidn gettext expat libiconv gperf ncurses ncursesw openssl zlib pkgconfig p5-error rsync popt ---> Building perl5.8 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed Log for perl5.8 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_perl5.8/main.log ..... I've copied the log file to: http://pastebin.com/qGeLHGNL What jumps out at me are the lines looking for these files that do not exist. Hope this makes things a little clearer. Dave A.
