Comment (by kencu):

 This spurious message has nothing to do with SnowLeopard, Rosetta, or PPC
 specifically. It is seen on all systems, only on MacPorts I believe, and
 only when using cmake, or building cmake.

 There are many tickets where this message is mentioned, going back at
 least 10 years, and the response back from Clemens and others is always to
 "ignore it" and look for the real problem.  Indeed, the real issue causing
 the build failure is always something else, and this warning is never the
 actual problem.

 {{{
 sh: /bin/ps: Operation not permitted
 }}}


 After 10 years, if it was simple to make this messge not happen, I presume
 someone would have done that. I am not personally exactly sure why that is
 the message that shows up for other build failures, but I can tell you
 this issue to be fixed is always something else, not that.
