The release 2.66 has a couple of regressions with respect to 2.65, I
applied the upstream proposed patches to fix these regressions in the
2.66_1 MacPorts version. As you installed the vanilla 2.66 in
/usr/local[*] you will still run into these problems. Try the 2.66_1
version in MacPorts as this _should_ resolve these issues.

[*] having things installed in /usr/local is a bad idea as far as
MacPorts is concerned, it can lead to very strange build issues.

PS: Upstream will be releasing a 2.67 shortly (probably in about 2
weeks, as the maintainer has just left gone on vacation) that should
resolve these issues.

PPS: There will probably be a 2.66_2 in MacPorts sometime in the next
couple of days as there is another minor regression...
