Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 kenneth.f.cunningham@…]:
 > I just installed gcc5 on Snow Leopard without issue. I do have my Snow
 Leopard systems set up with the LibcxxOnOlderSystems variant, if that
 makes any difference to the process.

 All versions of gcc5 were built successfully on Snow Leopard by our
 buildbot, which is not using libc++, so that would not be the reason for
 the failure. (Chris is using a custom MacPorts prefix, which is why he
 can't use the binaries produced by our buildbot.)

 The main.log contains five installation attempts. This should not happen
 with MacPorts 2.3.4 or earlier, but there is [ticket:51599 a bug] with
 MacPorts trunk which does cause the logfile to fail to be cleared between
 attempts. Are you actually running MacPorts trunk, and not 2.3.4 as
 indicated? Please `sudo rm $(port logfile gcc5)` before cleaning and
 trying again per Kenneth's instructions [comment:2 above].

 Also, please let us know what version of Xcode you have. If it's older
 than 3.2.6, please upgrade to 3.2.6.
