Hi Chris. I did everything you suggested in getting Xcode and macports, and got them installed The only thing i did differently, was install x ports, with is supposed to be the new x11. When I tried to do the
sudo port upgrade outdated I got some sort of error message I can't remember right now. When I did the self update, everything seemed to go smoothly. Any ideas? Thanks again.
