Comment (by cdev9@…):

 Is there a script that can tell you which packages are built with what
 architecture to make it easy to decide what to do?


 What I think I had done was for a long time I had -universal selected in
 variants.conf and no universal libraries were built. I think there are
 only a few currently built with x86_64, however, if it was not that
 difficult I would love to transition to x86_64 if its faster. If it isn't
 faster, then I should just leave it on ppc + i386 as it was before,
 assuming that I haven't done too much damage.

 What exactly changed with macports?


 Replying to [comment:9 ryandesign@…]:
 > The defaults haven't changed. For Leopard on an Intel Mac, the default
 build_arch is i386, and the default universal_archs are i386 ppc. Leopard
 is a 64-bit OS and you can change universal_archs to i386 x86_64 if you
 want; evidence suggests you have already done this, and that's why things
 are a problem now. Either switch universal_archs back to i386 ppc, or
 simply refrain from building things universal if you don't need the ppc
 part, or else leave universal_archs at i386 x86_64 and rebuild all ports
 you've already installed universal.
