 I tried to upgrade py27-scipy and that failed because of a missing 'db48'.
 Two weeks ago I tried to install Julia, and that failed. Three attempts
 and three failure in two weeks on two different computers. Should I switch
 to HomeBrew?

 This is strange. What does `sudo port selfupdate && port info libgcc`
 return?

 Sounds like it could be related to your missing `libgcc`.

 Did you file a ticket for this?
