 Replying to [comment:14 dyne2meter@…]:
 > No, this does not work on the Intel platform, 10.6.8, with gcc5. Should
 I abandon gcc5 and go to gcc6? This is delaying upgrades of
 py##-matplotlib and octave. I have a Mavericks installation where the
 update of qhull proceeds normally.

 Oh, I expected you to work on 10.5.8 Intel. However, if I remember right,
 on my 10.6.8 64 bit Intel machine qhull could be built without a Portfile
 change just by specifying `sudo port -s upgrade qhull configure.compiler
 =macports-gcc-5` in the command line. To be honest, I was a bit surprised
 that no complaint came up concerning the `-arch` switch on that machine.
 Anyway, I do not think that `gcc6` would solve your issue. What is the
 error being issued on your 10.6.8 machine?
