 I am having trouble with my port install.
 Everything seemed to go smoothly: I downloaded and ran the .dmg for
 leopard and the installed claimed to be successful.  When I go to run
 port, however, it seems to be missing.  i.e.

 [echidna:~] rmueller% sudo port -d selfupdate

 Password:

 sudo: port: command not found

 [echidna:~] rmueller% man port

 No manual entry for port


 I have reviewed the online documentation enough to realize that my install
 is a bit "off."  For one, I don't have a .profile created.  Instead, I
 only see a .macports directory.  (I don't have a .bash_login or
 .bash_profile either.)

 I have macfuse installed with winXP pro., and I'm suspicious of this
 interfering with other programs.  Could it have impacted this install too?

 Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing?

 I'm not sure if this is a bug or not (high probability of user error), but
 since I got the "install successful" thumbs up, I'm thinking it may be a
 bug...?

 Thanks!
