title: Macports port not found
body: <p>I am a relatively new Mac user (coming from a ubuntu/debian background) and have attempted to replace apt-get with macports "port" command. I've installed XCode and Macports successfully (my terminal recognises "sudo port install" command). However, no matter what I try install, no port seems to be found.</p>
  
  <p>I attempted:</p>
  
  <p>sudo port install mysql5-server and other requirements such as curl and gd.. I keep getting "port not found" error.</p>
  
  <p>Where is macports looking and what could the problem be?</p>
