Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hi,I installed macport on my desktop which I do not have root access. The configure I used is: 

./configure --prefix=/Users/wen/macport --with-no-root-privileges --with-install-user=wen --with-macports-user=wen --with-install-group=nogroup

after installing MacPort, I tried to use it to port cmake and qt5, but it can not find cmake: 

hollyhock:bin wen6$ port install cmake
Error: Port cmake not found

It happens to others too, qt5, vim...

I tried to update the tree, but I get the error: 

hollyhock:bin wen6$ port sync
--->  Updating the ports tree
Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
port sync failed: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed

Can you help me so I can use MacPort?

The reason why cmake and other ports are not found is that your ports tree probably doesn't exist, so you need to run port sync to create it.

Run port -v sync to see why the sync failed.
