 Machine:        PowerBook G4, 15"
                 PowerBook5,4
 CPU-Type:       PowerPC G4 (1.1)

 OS Version:     10.4.11

 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'.

Comment:

 It is true that most ports on Tiger will require apple-gcc42 because that
 is the default compiler on Tiger.

 However, I don't know why building apple-gcc42 would require xpm. Could
 you please attach the main.log file from your failed apple-gcc42 build?
