 I am trying to install ncarg 6 +gcc45 on a PowerPC Mac running 10.5.  I
 used the port selfupdate command before installing.  I also downloaded the
 ncarg tar file from the earth system grid and placed it in the appropriate
 directory in /opt/local.  I am able to install all dependencies, but when
 I get to the patch (g2clib-1.2.1-patches/makefile) I get the error

 {{{

 :debug:patch euid/egid changed to: 62638/501
 :error:patch Target org.macports.patch returned: can't read "build_arc":

 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_science_ncarg/ncarg/main.log
 }}}

 I've attached the log to this ticket.  I searched the tickets but did not
 see this problem elsewhere.  Not sure if I have an environment variable
 missing?  I tried editing the macports.conf build_arch variable to ppc (it
 was commented out by default) but this did not seem to help.

 Thanks, Yolande Serra
