no dbus?

[Lenore Horner]

Try
sudo port uninstall -f dbus
sudo port clean --all dbus
sudo port install dbus
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus- 
system.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- 
session.plist

Do the two files listed above exist on your system?
