Installing Mac ports on Leopard

2008-07-22 Thread Philippe B. Laval
I am new to MACs, so my question may be very elementary.  I was trying to
install Geomview.  For this, it was suggested I first installed Mac ports.
I followed the links and instructions.  Everything seemed to be going fine,
I even got a message saying the installation (of Mac ports) was successful.
The problem is that it is nowhere to be found on the system.  The port
command cannot be found.  How can I know what went wrong?  Why was I told
the install was successful?

 

Thanks

Known bug, see
