I get this error when running

sudo port install gimp-resynthesizer
Error: Unable to execute port: couldn't open "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_gimp-resynthesizer/gimp-resynthesizer/work/.macports.gimp-resynthesizer.state": permission denied

Please help!

The MacPorts installers sets the invisible bit on /opt/local/var/macports so you won't see it in the Finder (unless you tell the Finder to show invisible items) but of course you can access it via the Finder's Go to Folder menu item or in the Terminal.

Permission should, of course, not be denied if you used sudo.
