Problem With Port Install Py-gtk2

[kensingtoncat]

Have Tiger os and downloaded the darwin installer ( DarwinPorts-1.0.dmg) in order to get pygtk.

after setting necessary env variables in profile, got the following error messages when I tried to install py-gtk2:

$ port install -d py-gtk2
DEBUG: Found port in file:///opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports/python/py-gtk2
DEBUG: Changing to port directory: /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports/python/py-gtk2
DEBUG: Requested variant powerpc is not provided by port py-gtk2.
DEBUG: Requested variant darwin is not provided by port py-gtk2.
DEBUG: Requested variant macosx is not provided by port py-gtk2.
Unable to execute port: ln: /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports/python/py-gtk2/work: Permission denied

I am not too familiar with DarwinPorts. What am I doing wrong?

You need to do the install via sudo. That's because you need to be 'root' to install anything via darwin ports.

Your command should be "sudo port install py-gtk2"
