 == environment variables become blank ==
-This manifests as error messages like: `unable to execute -DNDEBUG: No such file or directory`. ($CC is an empty string, so what was meant to be the the first argument to the compiler is now the first thing on the command line, and is treated as a command name by the shell.) Seems to frequently occur when building Python modules; see #13930.
+This manifests as error messages similar to the following.

-This problem can be worked around by cleaning the work area of the affected port using
-{{{
-sudo port clean --work foo
-}}}
-and then running the `port install` (or `port upgrade`) command again.

-Here is [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-April/009991.html an analysis of the problem] by Bryan Blackburn.

-This is fixed in MacPorts 1.7.0 (r36719, r36722, r39016, r39017, r41603, r41639, r41650, r41651).
+This issue is resolved in [http://www.macports.org/install.php MacPorts 1.7.0].
 
 == `ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib` ==
-This is the result of a misfeature in Leopard's linker; see Apple [http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2007/qa1567.html Technical Q&A QA1567]. Users encountering this issue should upgrade to the latest [http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html Xcode Tools] release.

 == macfuse fails to build ==
-There is an issue with building macfuse on versions of Leopard prior to 10.5.5, documented in ticket #15889.  If it fails to build for you with the error message
+On versions of Leopard prior to 10.5.5, macfuse fails to build with the following error message (#15889).
 {{{
 undefined local variable or method `trans' for <UNDEFINED> ... </>:REXML::Document
 }}}
-then you've run into #15889. Upgrading to 10.5.5 or later will fix this, or if you can't upgrade for some reason, a possible workaround is given in the ticket.
+Updating to 10.5.5 or later using Software Update should resolve this issue.
 
 == `/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib: No such file or directory` ==
-This is a problem encountered when trying to install gtk2 on some Leopard machines (#14592). The .la files in `/usr/X11/lib` refer to the wrong library.[[BR]]
-According to #17008, upgrading X11 using Software Update should fix this.[[BR]]
-If not, upgrading to the latest XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/) certainly fixes the problem.[[BR]]
-Alternate solutions are given in tickets  #14592 and #17008.
