That should be fine, in fact I just did a test install from 1.6.0 source like this, though with different paths. The one big difference is I'm running 10.5.5. >From the output of your selfupdate: > chmod: > /NetUsers/stschiff/macports/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/audio: > No such file or directory So it isn't a permissions thing but the directory is not apparently there. After running the selfupdate, this directory should have been created and populated with (at least) a Portfile. How much of that path does exist? Was there an error message earlier than those chmod lines? Maybe rsync failed to run properly?
