Hello macports team!

[max]

I'm new to mac computers, and I was wanting to use the MacPorts for
installing The Gimp. I have only been using mac for the past two months. I
know that the Gimp will work with just the X11, however I was hoping to put
it in a sandbox. I also want macports for other open source programs.

I Have installed X11 and Xcode(when installing Xcode 3.1.4 I was not able to
locate the part about "3. Click Customize, expand the Applications category
and click the checkbox beside X11 SDK to add it to the default items." that
is in the InstallingMacPorts section on
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts).

However, I continued on, and went along with installing MacPorts. This was
all a complete failure for me... I tried to uninstall macports via the
Terminal Window, however the command had no effect(I believe because it was
never installed properly).


to let you know a little more...

I'm running Mac OS X version 10.5.8

I have X11 installed

I have Xcode 3.1.4 installed (with one missing step in the macports install
guide)

and MacPorts Installed... (and not doing anything ):   )


I would greatly appreciate some assistance from someone. Any sort of
direction to getting this problem fixed and getting mac ports up and
running. I was just about to reinstall my OS, but I don't think that will do
much good.


Thank you for your time,

Max N.
