Thanks, you're right, --without-x does let me get further in the  
configure script.

But why can't I then compile ports requiring X11? We have XFree86 and  
xorg in the ports tree. MacPorts would automatically install XFree86.  
It's declared as a dependency of every X11-requiring port.

If getting MacPorts to allow X11 software to be compiled requires  
first installing Apple X11.... then why do we have XFree86 and xorg  
ports at all?

I got this:


checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
checking target system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
checking MacPorts version... 1.7.0
checking for sw_vers... sw_vers
checking Mac OS X version... ProductName:       Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.2.8
BuildVersion:   6R73
checking for gcc... gcc


sw_vers on Jaguar does not accept any options, so when we call  
"sw_vers -productVersion" we're getting the same output as if we  
called "sw_vers". I fixed it:
