I'm trying to install gimp2 using macports (os 10.3). I keep getting a loop of errors, but I think I've got it tracked down to this:
Requested variant powerpc is not provided by port gimp2.
From what I gather, that means that the port isn't available, am I mistaken?
I've tried it with sudo port install gimp and get similar results. Does this mean I'll have to use the 1.2 version I got working with fink?
Thanks,

Tony, "Requested variant is not provided..." is not an error. It just means that particular port doesnt have that (default) variant which port trys to install if it is available. The "loop of errors" you are seeing is just port working through the chains of dependancies and dependencies of dependecies. gimp is a very complex installation with many many dependencies. It will take many hours to install -- days if you have a slow machine. Just let it run ......
