Cannot install git-core using macports

Question

Hello,

Snow Leopard 10.6.4 mac ports 1.9.1

I have just installed macports and I want to install git-core.

However, I get the following errors:

--->  Computing dependencies for git-core
--->  Dependencies to be installed: python26 db46 gdbm readline sqlite3 rsync popt
--->  Building db46
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed
Log for db46 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_databases_db46/main.log
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: python26 db46 gdbm readline sqlite3 rsync popt
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets&gt;

I have tried doing a port selfupdate and a port clean all and then trying to install again. But still get the same problem.

This is my first time using mac ports.

Many thanks for any suggestions.
