 mesa build fails in following circumstances:

 1. As part of overall upgrade to outdated ports (see mesa-upgrade.log),
 i.e.
 {{{sudo -E port upgrade outdated}}}

 2. When explicitly (re)installing mesa using default settings (see mesa-
 default.log), i.e.
 {{{port -E sudo install mesa}}}

 3. When explicitly (re)installing mesa using llvm-gcc-4.2 as recommended
 on the ProblemHotlist page (see mesa-llvm-gcc-4.2.log), i.e.
 {{{sudo -E port install mesa configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2}}}

 4. When attempting to install texlive, which in turn installs pymol, which
 requires mesa (see mesa-pymol.log), i.e.
 {{{sudo -E port install texlive +full -medium}}}

 To make matters more confusing, different errors are encountered each
 time.
 Machine specs are: OS 10.7.5, Xcode version 4.6.1 (but am using ports via
 the command line so not sure if this is relevant).

Comment:

 Regarding (3), I've removed the portion of the ProblemHotlist that
 suggested trying llvm-gcc-4.2 and apple-gcc-4.2. That section dated from
 several years ago, when clang first became the default compiler. At that
 time, many ports failed to build with clang; by now, clang is more mature,
 and ports have been updated to work with clang, so the suggestion to try
 another compiler is no longer generally useful.
