Nora,
Best directions are here:

http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration

As you see from the first paragraph, some of the installed ports MAY continue to work, but eventually things will break because you are using programs meant for Leopard on Snow Leopard.

The instructions are to reinstall Xcode and MacPorts, then proceed . . . .

Good luck,

Rick

Do I really have to delete all programs I already instlled with macports? There was only the macport which didn’t work but the programs are still working fine…

To be fair, the Migration page does say “you will first need to install the base MacPorts system again, either from the appropriate disk image or from source.”

Yes, it broke, upgraded MacPorts, installed the new Xcode, and googled until I stumbled on your post

I didn’t know there was a migration page, I remember just having grabbed the latest version. All my ports work marvelously well again (after manually fixing/removing some remains of the old installation like /opt/local/share/terminfo)

Thanks much!
