The MacPorts developer have changed most of the paths, so the old method of fixing things broke. I am posting the old and new paths here. It is doubtful the diffs in the original article are still valid, but the items needing change are exactly the same. I figure anyone technical enough to follow the original fixes can figure out what I mean.
