portslocation

[David Robertson]

Hello,

I am a newbie to the Mac.  I am trying to use the MacPorts system, 
version 1.5.  I saw another post to this list stating that 
/opt/local/bin/portslocation has never existed.  It does not exist on my 
system.

I'm trying to install the gaim port.  The instructions on 
http://gaim.darwinports.com/ say to cd to the aforementioned directory.  
The date on that page is July 18, 2007.

I try "port install gaim", ignoring the directory for the moment, and 
the port system cannot find it.  If I do a Google search for 
/opt/local/bin/portslocation, I get 27,800 hits.  At least for the first 
several pages, it's all Mac related.

Should portslocation exist or not.  If not, is there some additional 
configuration I need to do for MacPorts for it to be able to find gaim.

Thanks,
