Your gzip pipe problem (found on MacPorts mailing list)

[Jesse Ohlsson]

Ryan,  I was hesitant to move the /usr/local directory, so haven't  
tried it yet.

Mark,  you are right, I have no tar utility installed any more for  
some reason...  Any idea where it is supposed to go?  I'm thinking / 
usr/bin...

Thanks, I'll try to replace it this evening.

Jesse
