Comment (by purist):

 Worked like a charm. Thank you for your time and attention, Mr. Root. What
 a cool last name for a Unix guy...

 {{{configure: === configuring in vendor/tcllib
 (/Users/johnny/Desktop/MacPorts-2.7.1/vendor/tcllib)}}}

 This is an old school mistake. I used to be religious about removing
 spaces from file names because it used to be a problem for Unix life. But
 in recent years I've been loosening my policy as I haven't noticed any
 issues.

 Thank You Joshua
