      NOTE: If you don't have a /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ directory,
      you will need to make a symlink to the MacPorts Python 2.4 Framework
      or blender will not run:

      cd /Library/Frameworks
      ln -s ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ Python.framework
      \n"
      }

      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/blender
      % sudo port install blender
