new installation trouble

[Ulrich Wienands]

I am trying to get Macports running on a machine that has not had it before.

Mac OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite)

In install Xcode 7,2.1 and the Developer tools. Starting up Xcode & accept the license agreement. xcode-select --install now says the tools are already installed; so far so good.

Install MacPorts 2.4.3 from the package installer.

Run sudo prot selfupdate. Seems to work (but see below).

Trying to install something:
sudo port install wget

Error: cannot find wget.

Futzing around for a while not getting anywhere. Then trying to update again using the -d flag. this produces the following output:

uli% sudo port -d selfupdate

So it says it cannot connect to rsync.macports.org <http://rsync.macports.org/>. But I can ping it & it responds well.

Where am I getting off track here?

Thanks,

Uli
