Warning: the following items did not execute (for rb-cocoa):
org.macports.activate org.macports.configure org.macports.build
org.macports.destroot org.macports.install
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Does this work for others currently? (This is from OS X 10.5.2, Intel
Macbook duo core)
