 I've been struggling to follow the instructions in the Migration page for
 a couple of days. I've used MacPorts extensively under 10.5.x without any
 problems (for Ruby on Rails development). I tried searching the wiki for
 help, but there were over 500 entries for apache2 alone, all way over my
 head.

 1. I upgraded my iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I downloaded
 and installed the latest Xcode.

 2. I downloaded/installed the Snow Leopard version of MacPorts, then
 Cleaned All and Uninstalled all my ports.

 3. Ruby, Ruby91, Mysql5, lynx, AquaLess, and git-core installed without
 difficulty.

 4. Trying most other installs generates errors that prevents any success.
 Generally one of the dependencies gets screwed up, although I'm not enough
 of a programmer to understand the error messages.

 5. Failed installs include:
 a) apache2 ("could not find Cyrus SASL v2", even though I've installed it
 several times with multiple variants);
 b) subversion (can't decipher the error);
 c) ImageMagick (chokes at xorg-libXt);
 d) rb-fcgi (chokes on help2man)

 6. Sometimes I've been able to overcome an "wrong architecture" message by
 installing a dependency with the +universal option set. Uninstalling,
 cleaning, then installing above files with +universal didn't help.
