Hello, I ran into the error below trying to install git and cogito. My
ports installation was a mess, so I deleted it and started again with
a fresh install. Same problem. Any ideas?
thanks,

Are you on Leopard? If so, can you please just try running "sudo port
install cogito" (or whatever command you executed) again?
The cogito makefile is trying to do this:
$(INSTALL) -m755 -d $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
In your case, "$(INSTALL)" seems to be empty and so it's trying to
take the next word ("m755") as a command name, which it isn't. (Why
the "-" before "m755" is missing I don't know.) This (various
software packages not finding the programs they need to compile) has
happened to many Leopard users for reasons we don't understand, and
just trying it a second time has always resolved it so far.
