 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:
Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:            |       Port:  apple-gcc42

 Machine:        PowerBook G4, 15"
                 PowerBook5,4

 Xcode verson:   2.4.1


 Problem:

 ========

 The attempt to install xemacs,
         sudo port install xemacs
 failes since the port 'apple-gcc42' is required, which in turn requires
 'xpm' The install procedure
 stops with the message
                 :error:build failed to install apple-gcc42
                 :debug:build Registry error: xpm not registerd as
 installed & active
         in the logfile
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_apple-gcc42/apple-gcc42/main.log

 The attempt to install xpm,
         sudo port install xpm
 failes since the port 'apple-gcc42' is required


 The xpm is by far not the only port which is in such a circular relation
 to apple-gcc42. Part of the
 error message was a list (see below). I just tried several ports at the
 beginning and at the end of
 the list. It turned out that all these are in the same circular dependency
 to 'apple-gcc42' like 'xpm'.
