Port Authority Crashing due to MacPorts

[Andrew Phillips]

        I Am not very acquainted with the command prompt so, go easy  
on me. Well
I have had issues installing MacPorts, But now I have no clue. I just  
want
to install some linux programs on my imac, and the command prompt  
seemed to
hard for me so I installed Port Authority, which is a program for OS  
X that
allows me to install programs via MacPorts with a GUI. But It crashes at
startup. I contacted the Developer Of the program and he said that the
problem lies within MacPorts. So, I have a terminal readout of the  
program
for anyone who can understand it:

/Users/andrewpphillips/Desktop/PortAuthority.app/Contents/MacOS/ 
PortAuthority;
exit
Welcome to Darwin!

If Anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Thank You!
