 Recently inhertited a G5 powerpc, updated to 10.5.8.
 Installed Xcode 3 and Macports
 When I attempt to install any port at all, I get a shell failure.
 Uninstalled and reinstalled both xcode3 and macports with no change.
 attached example where gperf failed on attempt install for ruby gems

 {{{
 sudo port install ruby rb-rubygems
 }}}

 I'm guessing there is a configuration issue on my end; would appreciate
 any assistance.
 Thanks.
