Hi I think its best if you can create a repository under Macports. I'll be coding there.
Also while trying to install mpstats . I am getting these error Warning: configured user/group macports does not exist, will build as root ---> Cleaning mpstats ---> Updating database of binaries Warning: Error determining file type of `/opt/local/bin/captoinfo': invalid command name "fileIsBinary" Warning: A file belonging to the `ncurses' port is missing or unreadable. Consider reinstalling it. Warning: Error determining file type of `/opt/local/bin/clear': invalid command name "fileIsBinary" Warning: A file belonging to the `ncurses' port is missing or unreadable. Consider reinstalling it. Warning: Error determining file type of `/opt/local/bin/infocmp': invalid command name "fileIsBinary" Didnt find a solution on the net either.
