Hi, I can't find solution for this problem: (thank you)

port selfupdate
Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider using selfupdate
--->  Updating the ports tree
Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Please run with the -d switch as follows

port -d selfupdate

and post or upload the output.

I try with sudo and then without.

I don't see the attempt using sudo in the output you've provided.

Yes, you will need to use "sudo".

"C compiler cannot create executables" means Xcode is not properly installed. (Re-)Install Xcode.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Specifically, I see you are on Lion, but have Xcode 3.2.6. Xcode 3.2.6 is for Snow Leopard. For Lion you need Xcode 4.1. Get it from the Mac App Store.

The Subversion checkout located at /opt/mports/trunk/dports needs to be upgraded to a newer format.
