I'm having some trouble getting scribus to install via terminal.  I

to help me out:
System: Mac OS X 10.4 (iBook G4)

after typing: "$ sudo port install scribus", I get: "Error: Unable to
open port: invalid command name "use_parallel_build""

I did some research and learned how to check to see if MP was outdate
or something:
Phil-Meaghers-Computer:~ Phil$ sudo port sync
Phil-Meaghers-Computer:~ Phil$ port outdated
No ports are installed.

Whatever you can do to help will be appreciated.  Thanks a million.

Try the following:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install scribus

It sounds like you have an old version of MacPorts. The selfupdate command will update it.


Cheers!
