 Tried to install opendx on my system (Snow Leopard)

 It installed quite a few dependencies without any problem.  Then I get the
 following:
 {{{
 --->  Installing openmotif @2.3.2_2
 --->  Activating openmotif @2.3.2_2
 --->  Cleaning openmotif
 --->  Fetching opendx
 --->  Attempting to fetch dx-4.4.4.tar.gz from
 http://distfiles.macports.org/opendx
 --->  Verifying checksum(s) for opendx
 --->  Extracting opendx
 --->  Applying patches to opendx
 --->  Configuring opendx

 }}}
 What does this mean and do I need to fix it?

 Thanks.

Comment:

 Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field,
 and cc the maintainer.

 The message means that the port installs files outside the usual places,
 and you would fix it by making it not do that.
