Path And Checksum Errors In A Few Packages

Well, I do not know how p5-finance-quote eventually installed itself,
but your solutions worked like a charm for the other packages that kept
giving an open error after checksum. I see I have to do some real good
reading on this Macports. I want to bring some crosscompilers to the
port and I am currently taking a "class" at www.linuxfromscratch.org for
their CLFS book.

Thank you for the command with the clean feature. I had seen it once on
the list but couldn't find it as I may have accidentally deleted that
email message. Thank you Marc and Ryan for your suggestions. I will have
to follow Ryan suggestion next time before I run the clean command as I
would like to know what exactly is going on first.
