 I am new to the Mac and also Macports.

 I'm actually trying to install gedit which for some reason requires many
 ports including atlas.

 My install of atlas fails with the following error in the error log:

 #error Use the "-maltivec" flag to enable PowerPC AltiVec support

 I'm running Mac OS X version 10.4.11 on an eMac with a 700 MHz PowerPC G4.

 I'm following up on this as an intellectual exercise as I am interested in
 understanding what's going on.

 I have performed:

 sudo port -d selfupdate

 sudo port clean --all atlas

 sudo port install atlas
