 I'm trying to install RVM on Maverick using the pre-release of Xcode -
 command line tools installed.  Specifics on the system are:[[BR]]
 {{{
 OS X Version 10.9 Build 13AS24d

 Xcode 5.0 Build 5A11386k

 Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.1.74) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
 Thread model: posix
 }}}
 The problem occurs when trying to install a dependencie, expat.  I've
 installed a fresh version of MacPort2.2.0 from source on my system which I
 then run via sudo.

 Screen output is:

 '''128 > sudo port'''[[BR]]
 ''Password:''[[BR]]
 ''MacPorts 2.2.0''[[BR]]
 ''Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)''[[BR]]

 '''[Users/richardlloyd] >''' ''install expat''[[BR]]

 ''invalid syntax:  should be "try body ?catch {type-list ?ecvar? ?msgvar?
 ?infovar?} body ...? ?finally body?"''[[BR]]

 ''Please see the log file for port expat for details:''[[BR]]
 ''
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_expat/expat/main.log''[[BR]]

 ''To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:''[[BR]]
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets[[BR]]
 ''Error: Processing of port expat failed''[[BR]]

 '''[Users/richardlloyd] >'''[[BR]]

 I'm attaching the expat logfile mentioned above.

 I understand the caveats re mac developer / non-disclosure / limited-
 availability. I hit this problem while trying to install rvm in order to
 limp past the dreaded certificate verify failed (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)
 bug. Any guidance would be appreciated.  Most surely bleeding edge
 technology here...
