Comment(by jwhowse4@…):

 Here what happens.  When I run an install I get the following error.


 {{{
 port -v install gsl +gcc43 +doc
 Error: gsl: Variant gcc43 conflicts with gcc43
 Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
 }}}

 This is just because the Portfile says that gcc43 conflicts with gcc43.  I
 believe this should read gcc43 conflicts with gcc44.  Making this change
 to the Portfile and trying the install again gives the following error.

 {{{

 }}}

 This looks to me like the same error the gentlemen above obtained when
 trying to compile using gcc44.  I will also attach my config.log file.
