I am trying to install the ctags port and it uses xinstall instead of install in the port file. However, I do not have xinstall on my system and I cannot find where to get it. I found an xinstall.c file in the Pextlib but no binary xinstall program (which is what the portfile appears to need). I created a symbolic link to install and I got ctags to install but I don't know that this is the right thing to do. I also cleaned and rebuilt darwinports base as well.

xinstall is not a binary. It's a Tcl command provided by darwinports. If you do a cvs update of base and you rebuild and reinstall it, you'll have it. It has been available since December, 30th, 2003.

As a general rule, it's important to update both base/ and dports/. Bug fixes and new features are implemented in base/ and usually, we discover bugs and we implement features because of the evolution of the ports, so the latest version of the ports require the latest version of base/.
