EAN  OMG, this is great. Installs all the dependencies and everything. Utterly painless. I would use this even if I did have a brain.

FARCALLER  Porticus is a great manager for your macports installation. Being clean and simple it hides great power behind. And it's completely free!

JETFIREDX  I have the latest MacPorts installed and I can't get Porticus to install a single thing. Using MacPorts from the terminal works fine. I constantly get the following: Error: Error executing universal: Default universal variant only works with ports based on configure Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants. These errors come up no matter what variants I choose. I really want to get to using this app...I just got done setting up a Ubuntu box and Synaptic was really easy. (Not as easy as drag and drop on the Mac, but still pretty good!)

JETFIREDX  Heh... never mind. Don't select any variant and it seems to be working now.
