I made the same experience as Joachim K. Rennstich, so I followed the  
advice of Konrad Hofbauer, downloaded the Mac-OSX 10.4 Tiger version  
of MacPorts, made the standard MacPorts-1.6.0-10.4-Tiger.dmg  
installing, the installer program said "MacPorts have been  
successfully installed at your system" or the like,


but now I'm puzzling about:

==> How to "install the needed packages" (i. e. the rtf2latex2e  
script or package) "from there" (MacPorts?).


Testwise I called in the Terminal
sudo port -d selfupdate
with the answer: "sudo: port: command not found"

Konrad or others, can you tell me how to install rtf2latex2e with  
MacPorts?

How can I proof if MacPorts is installed rightly, how to run it?

Hopefully, joachim

I have been looking up rtf2latex2e and discovered that apparently it is 
not supported on Mac OS X unless you compile the UNIX version. My 
question is: how can I make the command work? What do I need to install 
in addition and how can I do that?
