 I tried to build Netatalk using 1.9.1.  I did not enter the ROOT password,
 but my regular password and promptly walked away, oblivious to the
 warning.  The build failed.

 I am now trying to continue the install, and already have most
 dependancies built, however I am not prompted for the necessary root
 password before MacPorts starts the build.  I was asked the first time,
 and not again.

 I currently have no way to build Netatalk.

 I've quite Terminal, restarted the computer, cleaned all cache (system and
 user), and tried "uninstall" command but nothing has worked.  Here is the
 error:


 Error: Target org.macports.install returned: MacPorts requires root
 privileges for this action
 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: db47 libiconv gperf
 openssl zlib perl5 perl5.8
