New description:

 I have a brand new Mac that is fully patched with OS X 10.7.3 and Xcode
 4.2.1 from the App store.  I have tried `sudo port install transfig` with
 MacPorts 2.0.3 and receive an `shell command failed` error during
 configuration of this port.

 I have run `sudo port -d transfig` and have attached a text file with the
 details of the error.


 I need this package in order to install xfig so any help is appreciated.

Comment:

 The first error in the log is:
 {{{
 /opt/local/lib/X11/config/Imake.rules:1674:27: error: empty character
 constant
 }}}
 However, since this was not a clean attempt, please "sudo port clean"
 transfig and try again, then attach the main.log file if it fails again.
