Comment:

 Hi,

 I could reproduce the problem. As you say, gs binary built on Intel based
 macs does not work properly on PPC, and vice versa. So I disabled this
 useless +universal variant simply. (r37154)

 # To tell the truth, I don't have any interest in keeping this feature
 since I have already changed my machine from PPC to Intel completely.
 Maybe this is the biggest problem... ;-)

 Anyway, thank you for reporting!


 p.s.

 Basically, I don't recommend you to use +universal variant because it is
 not stable yet - some ports may work well, but some ports may not work. I
 think you'd better install both Intel and ppc trees separately on your
 file server.
