In attempting to install MacPorts, I've run into a little problem.

Since I already have Fink on my system, the latest 10.4 developer  
tools and X11 had been installed earlier. I downloaded and installed  
the MacPorts binary, and then using pico, opened and edited the ~./ 
profile and it now looks like this:

> # Your previous .profile  (if any) is saved as .profile.dpsaved
> # Setting the path for DarwinPorts.
> export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
> export DISPLAY=:O.O
>

However, when I run the env command, I get this:

> PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
> SECURITYSESSIONID=51d020
> HOME=/Users/jamescoy

As you can see, the PATH does not display as per the instructions. Is  
that because of Fink being on my system or.....what's the deal?  Thanks!
