Comment (by jmpp at macports.org):

 I am unable to reproduce this bug: when I run the script on a virgin
 account with no MacPorts settings, they are properly added to the
 `~/.profile` file (which is properly created if it doesn't already exist).
 Any more info anyone in this ticket can provide me with?

 If you can, please create a virgin account (if on Leopard, the Guest
 account might suffice) and confirm that it doesn't have any MacPorts
 Terminal settings through the following:

  * the output of the `env` command;
  * the output of the `printenv PATH`, `printenv MANPATH` and `printenv
 DISPLAY` commands;

 Once that's established, try running the postflight script manually (which
 you can download from
 [source:/branches/release_1_6/base/portmgr/dmg/postflight here]) and tell
 me if there are any errors; or, on the other hand, if the settings are
 properly added. Setting `set -x` (debugging mode for bash) might help. If
 pasting any terminal output, please enclose it within the `{{{ }}}`
 wrappers for proper Trac formatting (read WikiFormatting for more info).

 Lastly, any info that might have been output to the `/var/log/install`
 file about the failed run of the `postfligth` script might also help
 (hint: the log might have been already rotated, so also look into
 `/var/log/install.log.0.bz2` and possibly higher numbered files).

 PS: Do any of you happen to have the `/etc/paths.d/macports` and
 `/etc/manpaths.d/macports` files installed?
