Does this mean it pints to itself?

No, if it pointed to itself it would say "/opt/local/lib/libgtk- x11-2.0.dylib -> libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib"

Are you sure there's nothing after the -> ? Nothing continued on the second line for example? I've never seen a symlink that pointed to nothing. I don't even know how to create such a thing.

and the second

joshuamacfie$ port provides /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib is a directory.

Does not give me a port name just says its a directory.

That's peculiar.

Courtesy of my system:

[sauvagine%] ls -l /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 30 Jul 5 13:16 /opt/local/lib/libgtk- x11-2.0.dylib@ -> libgtk-x11-2.0.0.1000.13.dylib
[sauvagine%] port provides /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib is provided by: gtk2


A symbolic link could be created to whitespace, although the fact that the file is reported as having 0 size would indicate to me that the file really is pointing to an empty string.

Thats an actual copy and paste from my term window. I have no Idea why or how this happened. I just reinstalled macports and have tried updating so I know its fresh. I have only installed fluxbox so far.
