Problems installing ports

[Jason DeBacker]

I was able to install MacPorts 1.8.2 without any error messages, however
when I try to install a program via the "sudo port install" command, I run
into the error "sed: command not found". Below is the output when I tried to
install qtoctave-mac:

debacker$ sudo port install qtoctave-mac

I am not very familiar with MacPorts or installing programs from source. It
may or may not be related, but I was unable to install MacPorts from the
disk image on the page: http://www.macports.org/install.php. Despite
downloading the dmg for Snow Leopard and my computer running OSX 10.6.3, it
gives me the message that I can't install this on my computer because it's
meant for OSX 10.6. In addition, when I open Octave, I get the line:

/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mkoctfile-3.2.2: line 41:
/usr/bin/sed: No such file or directory

but Octave starts up.

I'm using a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo. I'm running OSX 10.6.3, but the
computer had 10.5 factory installed when purchased. I may have installed
MacPorts before upgrading, but I have gone through the migration
instructions and tried deleting the whole /opt directory and reinstalling
MacPorts. Before my most recent complete installation of MacPorts, I updated
my XCode to 3.2.2 and CMake to 2.8.1 and Qt to 4.6.2 (I downloaded the whole
SDK, not just the libraries). I have also installed X11 and Octave 3.2.2
(needed to install Qtoctave).

Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Jason
