Installed macports what to do next

[james collins]

Ok

I was showing the output to try and find out what is wrong with rsync.

I won't run selfupdate

Is there a way to test rsync? Like can I try to connect to the macports website to debug?

Also does anyone know how I can view the log file? Or why macports can't find recoll?

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Updating MacPorts base always happens over rsync; there is no option to make this happen over any other protocol. Updating MacPorts base will therefore fail, and selfupdate won't continue to sync your ports.
