I was trying to compile MacPorts trunk/base. Due to hosted services I had to back out the Lion upgrade to get back online.
This was an XServer running OS X SERVER and we ran cursing and screaming back to Snow Leopard.

I honestly can not see how I can use Lion anywhere at this point.

Not having Rosetta is killing Macs at work. It may be over a year and a half before our software vendors are all off Rosetta.

I am discouraged. Might have to go rouge hackintosh; still better than other alternatives :)
