A newbie question about installing ports

[Leung, John C.H.]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to using MacPorts. I've installed MacPorts using the Mac OS X Installer and I was trying to install the "openssl 1.0.1c" port listed in the available ports section. When I clicked on the link, it brings me to a page listing a portfile (I think?). But I have no idea how I'm supposed to install that. Any help is appreciated.

MacPorts is a command line program; you'll need to run it in Terminal.


`sudo port install openssl`

I tried that. I got back:

Error: Port openssl not found

Am I missing something?

Hmm, was that the only message? If it can't find things that makes it sound like it doesn't have an index of the ports available and should say something.

`sudo port selfupdate` and then try the install command again?

I have problem with 'sudo port selfupdate' as well. Here's what I have if I used the -d to get more info:

For 'sudo port -d install openssl', I have:

Error: Port openssl not found


For 'sudo port -d selfupdate', I have:

Ah, your network blocks rsync. That's annoying.

You can try using SVN instead:
