 I get this error when running

 {{{
 sudo port install gimp-resynthesizer
 }}}

 {{{
 Error: Unable to execute port: couldn't open
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_gimp-resynthesizer/gimp-
 resynthesizer/work/.macports.gimp-resynthesizer.state": permission denied
 }}}

 I checked my dir and see no /opt/local/var/macports/

 Please help!

Comment:

 The MacPorts installers sets the invisible bit on /opt/local/var/macports
 so you won't see it in the Finder (unless you tell the Finder to show
 invisible items) but of course you can access it via the Finder's Go to
 Folder menu item or in the Terminal.

 Permission should, of course, not be denied if you used `sudo`.
