New description:

 There were several problems, one of which I couldn't see, or I may have
 sent with the wrong log file.

 First of all there was this problem with confdir:

 Error:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_archivers_gzip/work/gzip-1.4

 14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B
 ---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---: file name too long


 Then this happened when it (finally) built.
 {{{
 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
 command failed }}}
 (see log for details)

 Is it normal for stuff to take almost 2 days to build on a 3.04 GHz
 machine???

Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 It depends on what "Stuff" you're talking about.

 If you want help figuring out why gajim failed to build, please attach its
 main.log file.

 I don't know why you experienced that error with gzip. Were you able to
 build gzip after cleaning and trying again?
