I would like to confirm same problems regarding gnome sudo port install gnome - fails on compiling zenity package (same error), but gnome desktop launches without any problem. After this "gimp" installed via macports, fails to launch - exactly same kind of problems reported by Andreas. Note that I am running macports on a MacBook (Intel Core Duo), too.

I haven't found much information about installing GNOME via MacPorts.
The GNOME maintainer, rhwood, keeps a couple of useful webpages:

It seems that there is a problem with the zenity package. Is that right?
I don't know anything about zenity. Note that I did not self-update my macports for a few days (though GNOME is working here too) but I just tried to install it on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook, and got a python malloc error:
---> Building zenity with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome _zenity/work/zenity-2.18.2" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: Python(10184) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3) Python(10184) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region Python(10184) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/bin/xml2po", line 856, in ? doSerialize(doc) <SNIP> MemoryError make[2]: *** [bg/zenity.xml] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2
Is that similar to your error?
However, GNOME is working i can start it and use it, seems so haven't looked at it much deeper. Is there a way how to install the remaining packages? (except the not working zenity)
If the packages you want don't depend on zenity, 'port install ' should just work.
Second question: Installing GIMP through MacPorts (having installed cairo via the GNOME) stops when reaching the installation of (i think) py-cairo. Does anybody know how to get GIMP working? Should i do a force install?
Sorry - I haven't tried the macports GIMP.
