upgrading VIM errors

Thanks, Joel, that worked.  However, I ran into two problems that I  
found interesting.  When I ran "tim at cotopaxi:~$ sudo port clean --all  
vim" the call returned "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync 
.macports.org_release_ports_editors_vim/work/.macports.vim.state is  
not writable - check permission on port directory..."

When I did an "ls -al" the command returned the following:

drwxr-xr-x   4 root  admin   136 Jan 18 16:55 .
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  admin   102 Jan 18 16:55 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root  admin   144 Jan 18 16:55 .macports.vim.state
drwxr-xr-x  43 root  admin  1462 Jan 18 16:55 vim72

Huh?  So, I did a chmod 666 on .macports.vim.state (although that  
didn't make much sense to me, since the file and directories were all  
writable by root) and ran "sudo port -f clean -all vim" and all was  
well.  I'm going to try a similar procedure on openssl, the only other  
active ports I can't seem to upgrade.

Okay, entirely different situation.  "sudo port upgrade openssl" looks  
for "cc", which somewhere along the way had disappeared from "/usr/ 
bin."  So I created a symlink from /usr/gcc-4.0 to "cc" and all went  
well!

Thanks again,

Tim
