 Under a clean install of MacPorts 1.9.1 (installed using the Installer
 package, after undergoing the Uninstall procedure given in the Guide) on
 Mac OS 10.5.8, I got the following result when trying to install mplayer.
 {{{

 I then ran the same command with the -d flag; output is attached, along
 with the tcl crash report.  This may be related to bug #25194, which is
 listed as closed.

 This is not unique to pkgconfig; I get the same error when I try to
 install libtool (e.g.)

 Crash report from this run is attached as well.
