 Hi,I installed macport on my desktop which I do not have root access. The
 configure I used is:

 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=/Users/wen/macport --with-no-root-privileges --with-
 install-user=wen --with-macports-user=wen --with-install-group=nogroup
 }}}

 after installing MacPort, I tried to use it to port cmake and qt5, but it
 can not find cmake:

 {{{
 hollyhock:bin wen6$ port install cmake
 Error: Port cmake not found
 }}}

 It happens to others too, qt5, vim...

 I tried to update the tree, but I get the error:

 {{{
 hollyhock:bin wen6$ port sync
 --->  Updating the ports tree
 Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
 port sync failed: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed
 }}}

 Can you help me so I can use MacPort?

Comment:

 The reason why cmake and other ports are not found is that your ports tree
 probably doesn't exist, so you need to run port sync to create it.

 Run `port -v sync` to see why the sync failed.
