Comment:

 Ok, sorry, I made the wrong assumption. Looking at your log now, first of
 all, the first 2590 lines can be ignored as they concern packages other
 than MacPorts.

 I do see a number of errors, relating to the fact that your home directory
 is not on your startup disk, and the disk that the home directory is on
 has a space in its name ("OS X"). I already fixed this in MacPorts base in
 r84345 but we have not released a new version of MacPorts since then;
 until we do, users should use hard disk names that do not contain spaces.

 Because of this problem, according to the log: "An attempt to backup your
 original configuration file failed! Please set your MacPorts compatible
 environment manually."

 in the Guide].
