 to install by small modification of Portfile anyway. I attached a pach
 file for the modification. Please check it.

 What's happening is that autoreconf is failing. "use_autoreconf yes" was
 added to the port in r43754 by Jeremy, "to find X11 libs on Leopard", but
 I wonder if that was to find Apple's X11 libs; if so, that's irrelevant
 now as we use MacPorts' X11 libs. In that case removing this line is
 probably fine. Someone on Leopard should confirm that it still builds
 without that line.

 Why not? What happens?

 > Where should this be dumping the files/app?

 "port contents opendx" tells you where opendx installs files.
