macports through firewall

[Dr. Madhurjya P. Bora]

Dear Port Users,

I have been trying to install the macports in my iMac running Leopard (10.5). 
Following instructions from the macport guide section, I have successfully 
installed the subversion and synced with svn update instead of rsync update, as 
my school uses a firewall.

Now, when I try to install something, say, xsane or anything, the following 
errors come up.

---------
[Scarlett:~] mpbora% sudo port install xsane
Password:
Warning: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes?
Error: Port xsane not found
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
[Scarlett:~] mpbora%
---------

I have tried to execute this command also from the directory, but get the same 
results 


---------
find /opt/local -name xsane
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/graphics/xsane
^C
[Scarlett:~] mpbora% cd 
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/graphics/xsane 

[Scarlett:dports/graphics/xsane] mpbora% sudo port install 
xsane                                                   Warning: No index(es) 
found! Have you synced your source indexes?
Error: Port xsane not found

Any help is welcome.  Regards,
