I have an iMac and MacBook that I use interchangeably, and keeping the
same ports installed on both is becoming a hassle. Is there any way to
either sync the /opt/local directories, or export a list of installed
ports from one to load onto the other?
Thanks!

This lists installed ports' names:

Hi I just installed the latest SnowLeopard Mac Ports
(MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg) from the website, on my brand new 27
iMac
with SnowLeopard and latest xcode, and when running port, it fails with:
dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0/MacPorts.dylib, 10): no

fear of security issues.
I run macports as a regular user... but when I want to run the port
command I first su to an admin account and then run the port
commands with sudo. As far as I know macports requires full
privileges to work properly. Likely you could get something working
fully as non-admin by installing from
I just logged in to my non Admin account and su'd to my admin account, and when
trying selfupdate, it failed with:

Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports

Ok, tried that but now it doesn't even see what 'port' command is, it's 'not
found'. I am new to OSX, although not quite as new to Linux. I am just not
getting how OSX is managing these things. It is acting quite weird.

Your root account doesn't have the right environment (path, etc), but your user
account doesn't have the right permissions. Since you probably don't actually
have a root account, I don't know how to give it the right environment...
It might be easier if you use sudo instead of su. Use visudo
You have to be admin (i.e. su to your admin account). And THEN use
sudo to run the port command. I believe only admin accounts can use
sudo to get root permissions, which is what you need.

Yes, or you could use visudo to edit the sudoers file to give your non-admin
account permission to run the port command with sudo, as Stephen explained
below.
