 I am unable to build the port for rtf2latex2e under Mac OS 10.5.5 (only OS
 tried) on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook; it appears to be a configuration
 error.

 {{{

 I don't think I have an installation problem with MacPorts, having used it
 successfully in previous weeks, but this might be related to my inability
 to use rsync (behind corporate firewall). I use svn instead to get the
 bleeding-edge MacPort source.
