Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not

Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
(you might also see this message if a pseudo-port such as
outdated or installed expands to no ports).

You need to tell "port clean" what you want it to clean. For example,
"sudo port clean bison" would clean the bison port's work directory.

So the problem here is with expat, not bison. And it says it cannot
find a compiler. Did you install Xcode? You need to. The current
version of Xcode is 3.0 for Leopard, 2.5 for Tiger or 1.5 for
Panther. Please download and install the correct version from http://
developer.apple.com/
