title: macports on mac os x mountain lion
body: <p>Am trying to install macports on a newly installed mountain lion, I installed first the xCode and then installed the xCode command line tools. After that, I ran the xCode and agreed for the terms and condition, then installed the macports dmg package. </p>
  
  <p>Once I did, I ran the self update command and it worked but then any self install or self upgrade won't work. </p>

  The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
    port upgrade outdated
  Mo-Mughrabis-MacBook-Pro:~ mo$ sudo port upgrade outdated
  Error: No ports matched the given expression

  <p>When i tried to run sudo port install I got the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>Mo-Mughrabis-MacBook-Pro:~ mo$ sudo port install 
  Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /Users/mo").
  Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct.
  To use the current port, you must be in a port's directory.
