I am running MacPorts 1.520 on a PowerPC G5 under Mac OS X 10.5.1.
It appears that whatever script is extracting the expat package
(whatever that is!), or the fping package for that matter, is
missing the "tar" command, but has the switches intended to follow it.
Thanks for the quick response, I hope this is something we can
find the solution for...
Did you build MacPorts from source or install it from a disk image?
(Which disk image?)
Do you have anything installed in /usr/local? Do you have Fink
installed in /sw? Both of those could conflict with MacPorts in weird
and exciting ways.
The expat port doesn't say anything about the tar command. That's a
global MacPorts extraction mechanism, so I would expect all ports to
be equally broken for you at this point. The relevant code, I think,
from portextract.tcl:
default extract.post_args {"| ${portutil::autoconf::tar_command} -xf -"}
So ${portutil::autoconf::tar_command} is empty for you. I don't know
why yet.

I tried installing port fping and got the same error.
Is this a simple fix? Has anyone else seen this? I'd sure
appreciate any help.
Haven't seen this problem before. That's supposed to be a tar
command the output of gzip is being piped to.
Exactly what version of MacPorts do you have? What version of
Xcode? What version of Mac OS X? What kind of Mac (Intel or PowerPC)?
