 I received the following error message attempting to install rb-rubygems:
 {{{

 such variable
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}
 In spite of much  experimentation, including wiping /opt/local completely
 on my development machine and deleting the files recommended in the
 macports wiki for an absolutely clean install, I keep receiving the same
 error.  This, after my latest install attempt
 {{{

 Is changeset 37668 related to this?  "contains Message: Fixed categories"


 I am stumped and would greatly appreciate any assistance.
