So I don't have to use sudo on the port install?
When I tried your command, I got:

for i in gv latex coreutils with_default_names; do port -vc install $i; done
Error: Unable to execute port:
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_print_gv/work/.macports.gv.state
is not writable - check permission on port directory
Error: Port latex not found
Error: Unable to execute port: can't create directory
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_coreutils":
permission denied
Error: Port with_default_names not found

What about all my error messages when I tried to port install gv?
Why will they not show up again with your formula?



Thanks
