problem installing rsync

[Waheed Samy]

I am getting an error installing rsync.  I would be grateful if you  
can provide assistance.  The following shows the output of the port  
command.  Before doing this I ran sudo port -v selfupdate, and found  
the package up to date.

MacBook:~ waheedsamy$ sudo port install rsync
