umm.. you'll have quite a learning curve ahead of you, but preserver.
open up terminal.app and type -
>ls .profile
You should see a response like -
eric@quark:~>ls .profile
.profile
eric@quark:~>
this means that the file ".profile" exists. If instead you get something like -
eric@quark:~>ls .profile
ls: .profile: No such file or directory
eric@quark:~>
Then you should type -
>touch .profile
this will create the file with no contents.
Next type -
>open .profile
(I assume you don't know about vi, so TextEdit.app will have to do for now).
Paste in the macports environment settings, save, and open a new terminal window. macports should now work.

- daniel-cussen 19y agoI got it to work. Macports on Tiger walkthrough: 1) Install Macports from macports.org, and open the box icon that ends in .pkg. 2) Open the terminal. 3) Paste [touch .profile]. Don't paste the brackets, just what is inside. press return. 4) Paste [open -a TextEdit ~/.profile], press return. A text file will open. 5) Paste [ export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH export DISPLAY=:0.0 ] in the file. Save it and close it. 6) Paste [. .profile]. Press return. 7) Paste [sudo port -d selfupdate]. Press return. The computer will ask you for your password; give it and press return. 8) Wait for about three minutes. The terminal will act weird and will be busy updating macports. When it's done, you can use macports by pasting [port search sbcl] to search Steel Bank Common Lisp. You can install by pasting [sudo port install sbcl]. Then you can get on with your startup and take on the world.
