The day my MacPorts died

I was all excited to receive a brown uninspiring envelop knowing what it should contain. My excitement lasted till I completed the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard only to discover MacPorts isn’t working. I had no idea how to fix that.

kahwee:~ kahwee$ sudo port help
dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
        /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    while executing
"load /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded Pextlib 1.0" script)
    invoked from within
"package require Pextlib 1.0"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 40)

Above is some gibberish error. Hoping to fix it soon. Good thing is that my LAMP installed from MacPorts in Leopard is working still although the paths are a little messed up.
