I'm wondering if something has gone (badly) wrong during the selfupdate (no idea why). As much as I don't like the idea, have you tried removing the DP install you've got [1] and re-installing DP from the disk image and *not* doing a selfupdate? That would tell us if you've got a local system problem or if something is going wrong in the selfupdate. -eric [1] /bin/rm -rf /opt/local && /bin/rm -rf /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0
Hope things are doing
