-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 I have recently installed macports to which i am a big fan.
 I have had no issues on my previous mac running MAC OSX Yosemite ( Macbook
 Pro mid 2011 ), i have just bought a new Macbook Pro mid 2015 Model
 Identifier:MacBookPro11,5

 I installed xcode then command line tools as well as developer tools then
 Macports . Install was easy enough , i used the source download to install
 1st time round..
 i made sure my profile path was updated.

 '''My Profile :- '''\\

 #!/usr/bin/bash \\
 # MacPort \\
 export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH" \\

 I also installed Quartz as i do use this a fair amount .. \\

 OS = MAC OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 \\
 Xcode  = Xcode 7 Beta \\
 Command line Tools = Command Line Tools OSX 10.10 for Xcode 7 beta 6 \\
 Quartz = XQuartz-2.7.7 \\
 MacPorts = MacPorts-2.3.3.tar.bz2 \\

 I then tried to install minicom @2.7 & i got this output from my screen :-

 I have looked around on your ticket system for other similar issues but
 cannot seem to narrow any of them down to a particular remedy. \\
 I am hoping this is an easy enough one for you to remedy & point me in the
 right direction... \\

 Thanks in advance \\

 Jimbo :) \\
