 Replying to [ticket:62062 knightjp]:
 > Before attempting to install this port, I installed the latest Fuse or
 macFuse as it is now known. However the port does not see macFuse as
 installed and is attempting to install osxfuse as a dependency, which ends
 up in an error.

 Correct. MacPorts is designed not to find random software you installed
 elsewhere.

 Please don't do that.
