 Today I installed Snow Leopard and fetch the source file of MacPorts
 1.8.0.

 In that case I created a fresh new user called "build" with no Admin
 rights.
 Configured MacPorts like this :
 {{{
  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/package --with-universal_archs="x86_64 i386"
 --with-no-root-privileges
 }}}

 And when I try to install expat I got this error :
