 Dear all,

 I tried to install Xmedcon on a newly updated Mac OS Snow Leopard. I
 therefore first completely removed macports (2.5 in the macports guide)
 and then re-installed it before trying to install xmedcon. Dependencies
 installed fine:
 The following ports are currently installed:
   gcc44 @4.4.5_0 (active)
   gmp @5.0.1_0 (active)
   gperf @3.0.4_0 (active)
   libiconv @1.13.1_0 (active)
   libpng @1.4.5_0 (active)
   mpfr @3.0.0-p8_0 (active)
   zlib @1.2.5_0 (active)
 But when it comes to xmedcon I get an error message
 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
 command failed (see log for details)
 Log for xmedcon is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_science_xmedcon/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
  (see also the last 20 lines of the log file below or the attached log-
 file).

 Any help would be welcome (and, please, explain patiently: I am not very
 at ease with Linux, though not afraid of the command line ;-)

 Thanks in advance, Christian.

 ps: in fact, I only need medcon, but it seems to be unavailable nowadays
 without the GUI in xmedcon?
