 I installed Macports one year ago. I need library in order to run FreeFem
 on my MacBook.

 It appears that I need to update it so I used the command sudo port
 selfupdate
 An error pops up and I didn't succeed to solve it. I precise that I'm new
 on computer science. I've few knowledges but not enough to understand
 everything yet.

 So I took a look in the difference tickets (for example Ticket #46193) and
 try the command `sudo port -v selfupdate` and I got this :

 Have you an idea of what is going wrong?

Comment:

 It sounds like you have not installed the Xcode command line tools.
