 > Where do I find why zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz.html 's download failed?

 Open the file
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/zlib/zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz.html in a text
 editor or web browser and see what it says. Or attach it to this ticket an
 I'll have a look.

 > and /usr/bin/gnutar is not found

 Then MacPorts will not be able to extract or create tar files, which is an
 essential function for MacPorts to be able to install ports.

 Since I haven't seen Mavericks, I don't know if this is an intended change
 (in which case MacPorts will need to be fixed to take this into account)
 or whether there is a problem with the OS installation on your system (in
 which case you would need to reinstall the OS).
