mtr @.85_0 will not install

[ptech49@…]

I have just done a clean install of Mavericks on a MBP. I have ports 2.2.1 running, and have installed for a test chkrootkit and it works fine. When I try to install mtr @85_0 I get the message "Processing of port mtr failed" This is what I got from the log file.
