 i tried to install the kde-3.5.8 bundle with the command:

 {{{
 sudo port install kde
 }}}

 here's my uname -a output:

 {{{

 powerpc
 }}}

 only minor hitches (having to symlink a few files) up until the OpenEXR
 package's turn. here is the error output:

 when the port install process fails because it can't find a particular
 file, i can usually solve that with a quick symlink, but this output is
 rather incomprehensible to me.

 hack solution i've tried and failed with:

  :download and compile from the OpenEXR site's version (1.4.0 from there
 as well. strangely, the compile went fine)

  :symlink that install from /usr/local/ to /opt/local/

  :manually simulate the port structure in /opt/local/var/macports/... with
 everything mostly symlinked, and a dummy empty file for a reciept

  :port clean openexr, kde, kdebase3, multiple times and retry

  :attempt to install other kde-3.5.8 dependencies first (all that i tried
 seem to need openexr as well)

 a note: i was compiling things for ipodlinux before, which requires
 gcc-3.4.3 instead of the default tiger gcc-4.0, and i forgot to change it
 back for the install up to the failure of OpenEXR. would that be an issue?
 if so, would

 {{{
 sudo port upgrade active
 }}}

 fix that, or should i re-install all my active ports (all have been
 compiled with gcc-3.4.3)?
 i can't find anything that sheds light on this problem in this ticket
 universe, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

 thanks
