Comment (by el_duderino_@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 ryandesign@…]:
 > The error message you're getting suggests a problem with readline. If
 it's not a rogue copy of readline in /usr/local, I don't know, maybe your
 system copy of readline got replaced somehow? Or are there other copies of
 readline elsewhere on your system? Are there any nonstandard directories
 in your `$PATH`, and if so, do any of them contain copies of readline?

 There were indeed a lot of non-standard directories in my PATH and in two
 of them (or rather their subdirectories) were copies of readline (e.g. in
 LibreOffice). I altered my PATH through {{{export PATH =}}} but it didn't
 work. I changed my .profile and re-sourced – it didn't work. I did {{{.
 ~/.profile && gfind $(echo $PATH | sed -e 's/:/\ /g') -iname *readline*}}}
 to make sure there was no copy of readline in my PATH – it still didn't
 work.

 I also checked my copy of /usr/include/readline. There are two symlinks in
 that directory: history.h and readline.h. Both point to
 /usr/include/editline/readline.h. readline.h is from October 2010 and
 hasn't been altered since. I don't know if it is supposed to be that way.

 > We can investigate this further, but you can also bypass the selfupdate
 process and instead update to MacPorts 2.3.2 by downloading the installer
 from our web site.

 Downloading and simply installing sounds fine! Do I risk losing my ports
 or anything else with that?
