 I am trying to install matplotlib for python 3.8 from macports. When I
 try:
 {{{
 $ port install py38-matplotlib

 My question is, (1) I have python 3.8 already installed via macports, so
 why is python37 a dependency? (2) For some reason python37 does not build,
 so how can I install py38-matplotlib, i.e., get around this error?

 main.log attached.
