For each port you find that fails to install, please search the issue tracker to see if it has already been reported. If it has, check the ticket to see if there's a patch. If there is, try it out. If it works for you, say so in the ticket so we'll know we can commit the patch. If there's no patch but a workaround, that might let you bypass the problem as well. If there's no ticket filed, please file one.

Thanks for this information but I am afraid I have to ask some more questions.

How do I search the issue tracker? Each time I try and follow the link to any error reporting, it asks for a username and password that I have not received.

You'll have to sign up for an account in the issue tracker if you want to file new tickets or add comments to existing ones, but you should be able to just search without logging in. Go to http:// www.macports.org/ and click Support & Development in the left navigation. Then click View Tickets in the top navigation. Then click Custom Query over on the right. Then select Summary from the Add Filter menu. Then type your search string into the text box and click Update.

To register for an account or log into an existing one, click Register or Log In at the top right of any issue tracker page.
