Problem

I have a nicely working MacPorts on Lion. When I run it does compile without errors. However, when I attach a NTFS-formatted external drive, it's read only. And there is no Preferences icon for NTFS-3G, like there was in my Snow Leopard install. Is the NTFS-3G driver active? How can I find out and …

Error Output

sudo port install ntfs-3g
