Comment (by jmroot):
Running `port notes macfuse` says this:
{{{
% port notes macfuse
---> macfuse has the following notes:
Run the following before using macFUSE:
sudo ln -fsn /opt/local/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs
/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs
Alternatively, use the +fs_link variant to automatically create this
symlink.
}}}
Importantly, `$prefix` is expanded to `/opt/local`. If you didn't have a
`prefix` variable set in your shell when you ran
{{{
sudo ln -fsn ${prefix}/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs
/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs
}}}
then `${prefix}` evaluates to an empty string, making the command
effectively this:
{{{
sudo ln -fsn /Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs
/Library/Filesystems/macfuse.fs
}}}
which is of course incorrect and results in the problem you see.
