 to do with it?
 The ghostscript port does not a have a universal variant; see #24056. So
 it is not affected by your decision to compile other ports universal.

 Actually it looks like you're trying to build for i386 only. Have you set
 build_arch to i386 in macports.conf? If so, that's not supported by
 ghostscript either at this point; see #21545.

 Replying to [comment:4 takanori@…]:
 > If so, could you re-install all of ports without +universal and try it
 again?

 Not necessary; I use universal on all ports and ghostscript installs fine
 nonuniversal.

 > # I never use +universal because it is not stable.

 Nonsense. Let's not baselessly disparage a core MacPorts feature here.
 Some ports admittedly don't compile universal, or don't work properly when
 compiled universal, but those are bugs to be filed against those
 individual ports.
