Shawn, Allegro failed to build on my MacBook. So I updated it to the latest and it installs forme now. Then I was able to update atanks to 2.3 and it installs to. But I don't understand atanks and it is crashing. The old tarball apparently included definitions and other directories that don't seem tio exist in the new tarball. So after a few hours uninstall, clean, selfupdate, and reinstall and give it a try. atanks probably needs some more work but it needs someone who knows it.

Hello!

I'm very new to OSX, but familiar with gentoo and other linux distros. I seem to have issues compiling various programs on my iMac using macports. I get the following errors:

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Can anyone give me any advice on what's going on here and perhaps point me to a solution?

Thanks for your help!
