macport install problems

[Maurice Munyore]

Hello all,
I'm a newbie trying to install macports so i can run rtorrents however i
seem to get the message no ports installed despite getting no problems with
port self update and port sync. Below are the messages I receive when I try
to install rtorrents. i'm running Mac OS X 10.4.10 powerbook g4 1.5

When i look at whether i have any ports installed. i get the message there
are none.

*powerbook:~ maurice$ port -d installed*
*No ports are installed.*

Could some help know why the discrepancy between the macport message that it
does not need updating and the no ports installed.

thanks and regards

Maurice
