The message you received is printed if the file /usr/local/include/db.h exists on your system. This file, and anything else you have installed in /usr/local, should be removed before attempting to use MacPorts. For an explanation, see: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#usrlocal > Maybe thing got messed up after trying so many ways to do something that > could have been simple. Especially MacPorts seems to be installing a zillion > things that I did not really care for or wanted. MacPorts installs the dependencies required to install the software you requested. If you have further questions about MacPorts, please join the macports-users mailing list: https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users and read the MacPorts guide: https://guide.macports.org
