Hi Gary, I got exactly the same build errors as you did. I've made a small change to the syntax of the libcompat Portfile [1], and that seems to have fixed it. I don't understand why the original syntax worked in the first place, or why it generated the error that it did, but the new syntax is definitely correct. Please give it a try after a selfupdate and let me know if it now works for you. Kind regards, Maun Suang [1] http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/changeset/24170 On 17/04/2007, at 12:23, Gary Ross wrote:

I'd be grateful for ideas.
