 Replying to [comment:2 blair@…]:
 > Did you do a 'port clean' and try to rebuild it?

 Tried that right now, and it worked.

 That worked just now.

 I ran into copious troubles previously, trying to update the ports on
 a machine that was new to me. The ports on it have apparently survived
 an upgrade to Leopard. I kept running into various library version and
 architecture conflicts after selfupdate. In frustration, I did

 {{{
  port -f uninstall installed
 }}}

 That cleaned the mess, and I was able to install all the ports I
 needed, with m4 presenting the only obstacle, which I surmounted by
 linking m4-1.4.13 to m4-1.4.14

 I did not know about the importance of 'clean' -- thank you for pointing
 it out.
