Comment (by fukuda@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 ryandesign@…]:
 > Well, having libraries like readline installed in /usr/local is known to
 mess up MacPorts base, which is why MacPorts base specifically checks for
 and avoids that problem. It may mess up other software as well, and that
 other software might not check for it. For this reason we do not support
 the use of MacPorts when you have things installed in /usr/local. Please
 remove /usr/local and clean or reinstall the affected ports.

 Thank you for the comment, but the symptoms were the same with Kotoeri,
 Apple's genuine IM.

 I "selfupdated" on another Mac to find no problems and I started comparing
 every ports one by one, and found that the cause is not within port
 command or ports, but a wrong environmental variable ($LC_ALL) of the
 shell.  (I did not doubt that because both IMs worked fine for the shell
 itself.)

 Thank you for your advices, and I hope you haven't wasted so much time.
