The relevant error shown several times in the log is:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/grep
  Reason: Incompatible library version: grep requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0

The most common reason for this is that your libiconv port is built for the wrong architecture. And the most common reason for this is that you upgraded this machine to Snow Leopard from an earlier OS (or migrated data to this Snow Leopard machine from a Mac with an earlier OS), and that you had MacPorts installed on that previous OS/machine, and you have not since then uninstalled and reinstalled all ports. See the Migration page in the wiki for how to do that.

I see the problem now as you explain, which is quite true. I will go through the migration now and report sucess/failure. Thanks alot for the observation and help so fare.

[maziar@…]

Problem is solved!

Thank you once again.

Great! Glad you got it working.
