Dear Macports users,

I am having difficulty installing Macports and the PPL library via Macports.  I initially intstalled Macports (and updated to 1.5.0), but the /opt/local/bin/portslocation/ folder is not there.  I thus made the folders myself and went ahead (note also that I previously tried to install it in /bin/, which also failed with same error, and I then removed and reinstalled Macports):

$ cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/ppl

$ sudo port install ppl

Macports successfully installed gmp and glpk but failed on configuring gmp-cxx-wrappers (see log below).

So, am I just missing something as a newbie?  Or is there some other problem here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using a macbook pro 2.2GHz Core 2 with os x 10.4.10

Thanks!!

Dan
