 > How do you mean, "not existing"? It exists on your system; you installed
 it there with MacPorts. It just doesn't seem to work right. Most of what
 we do at MacPorts is package up software that other people have developed.
 It's not our job to make that software work correctly; that's the
 developers' job. Of course if there's something about the way that we're
 packaging up tor that's causing this problem, then we can correct that.
 But if you look into the tor portfile you'll see we're not doing anything
 special. We're just running a standard build.

 Yes it does 'exist', sorry for any inference to the contrary.  What I
 meant to say was, this issues is likely to be the reason for tor having
 never seeming, and historically, to be distributed for OS X Tiger --
 obviously from my historical attempts to locate it.

 I shall research it again to -- possibly -- find out what where any
 technical issues which might prevent openssl, or even tor, for not working
 or supporting Tiger.  Without getting into any personal justifications, I
 might find it a satisfying task for this (_historically_) low-level
 programmer to try and remedy the situation.
