Mac OS X Install File Error

There's a typographical error in the install instructions in file "Install-mac.txt" contained in MacPorts-2.3.1-10.7-Lion.pkg

The file tells you to install the first two packages correctly, but the third line says "install +graphviz" with an extraneous "+" symbol. This causes an error.

--------------------------------------
$magick> sudo port -v install freetype +bytecode
$magick> sudo port -v install librsvg
---> $magick> " sudo port -v install +graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms "
--------------------------------------
Third line should be " sudo port -v install graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms "

Other OS X packages may have the same error.

NOTE: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advan ... php#macosx DOES NOT have this error, which is how I found out what the problem was.

This appears to be a MacPorts issue. Please report to MacPorts.
