I have updated the molden port to the latest version. Please wait 30  
minutes, then "sudo port sync" and "sudo port install molden".

The developers of molden are in the habit of changing their software  
without changing the version number. This occurred 13 times (that we  
noticed) during molden 4.6 and is continuing with 4.8 now. These  
"stealth updates" inevitably results in a checksum mismatch. At least  
this lets us know the port needs to be updated, and whenever it  
occurs, you can report it here or in a ticket and we can update it.

"port livecheck molden" will also tell you whether the distfile has  
been updated.
