New description:

 I tried installing emacs-app through macports and it fails to build. I'm
 on mac os x 10.5.8 and I have xcode 3.1.4

 {{{
 Error: org.macports.build for port emacs-mac-app returned: command
 execution failed
 Please see the log file for port emacs-mac-app for details:

 Error: Processing of port emacs-mac-app failed
 }}}

 I attach the log file, which indicates that some dependencies were not
 found (e.g. libxml).

 However, note that I also tried installing emacs from the binary
 downloaded from emacsformac.com and it also failed to build. So there
 might be some problem with my system rather than with the port.

Comment:

 If you downloaded a ''binary'' of emacs from elsewhere, then there is no
 ''build'' that could fail (a binary is already built; that is what
 "binary" means). But we're here to talk about MacPorts, not random third-
 party binaries, so let's address that problem.

 The log you attached is incomplete. Please
 [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/project.html#project.tickets.prerequisites
 clean and try again]. Then we can investigate further.
