 Hello,

 I am trying to install ImageMagick, and the installation file has
 instructed me to:

 Install MacPorts. Download and install http://www.macports.org/ and type
 the
   following commands:

     $magick> sudo port -v install freetype +bytecode
     $magick> sudo port -v install librsvg
     $magick> sudo port -v install +graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms


 I was able to install MacPorts and run the first two commands.
 When trying to run the 3rd command, I get the following error:

 Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find
 Portfile in /Users/corinnewong").
 Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
 Error: A default port name could not be supplied.
 Error: Unable to open port: Could not find Portfile in /Users/corinnewong

 I have a MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.5. I updated Xcode (v5.1.1). I
 installed MacPorts-2.3.1-10.8-MountainLion.pkg.
 Upon installation, I was getting the 'port command not found error' so I
 modified my .cshrc file with the following:

 set path = (/opt/local/bin/ $path)
 set path = (/opt/local/sbin/ $path)

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you,
 Corinne
