gnumeric will not install

[reiser.paul at gmail.com]

Hi Ryan - Yes, the gnumeric 1.10.1 folder was from the previous installment.
I have put that in the trash. I'm assuming that the MacPorts installation
process created something like a gnumeric 1.8.4 folder somewhere, but I
cannot seem to find it, in order to complete the installation (./configure,
etc). After the "sudo port -d install gnumeric command", what would be my
next step?
