 > > Thanks for the reply! I uninstalled everything related to MacPorts on
 my laptop. (I had to use the bulky code at the bottom of the page.) It
 doesn't seem as if anything related to dbus remains anywhere on my Mac. I
 also deleted the MacPorts installation package. I should add that several
 things under MacPorts, like Python, were installed in another folder on my
 MacBook, which I only found using Launchpad.

 I think that I had a separate folder automatically installed when I tried
 installing MacPorts, if that makes sense. I don't remember seeing it in
 /opt/local, but, when I looked in LaunchPad, even after having uninstalled
 MacPorts, I saw a folder titled "MacPorts" in there as well. I had to
 manually delete its contents.
 > > As to why this file already exists on my system, I can think of a few
 reasons. I accidentally installed MacPorts the wrong way at first (i.e.
 before installing XCode and the command line) and tried installing GIMP on
 my laptop. I thought that this was the source of my problems, so I
 uninstalled MacPorts and deleted XCode, which I had installed too late in
 the game. When I made sure that there was nothing related to either on my
 laptop, I reinstalled/redownloaded everything the right way. It finally
 seemed as if GIMP would be installed properly, but I started getting these
 error messages, so I kind of got desperate and uninstalled and reinstalled
 MacPorts on my laptop several times. I don't know whether these have had
 any effect on what's been happening.

 > If you had the dbus port installed, and then you uninstalled MacPorts by
 using the "rm -rf ..." command to remove the MacPorts files, without
 having first run "sudo port uninstall installed" or "sudo port uninstall
 dbus", that could explain the situation you're in. So if you think that's
 likely to have happened, then you can just delete the file
 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist or let MacPorts
 rename it by running "sudo port -f activate dbus".
 I've checked my laptop in various ways, but I can't find any files
 pertaining to dbus anywhere in it, including the one that you mentioned in
 your reply. Is there a chance that I'm missing it somehow?

 Thanks again!
