On OSX 10.6.8, I was failing to follow these instructions:
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems including the older
version here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170331190323/https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems
The output was one cycle, among many, was:
{{{
sh-3.2# port install clang_select

You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
The following ports will be rebuilt:
ncurses @6.1
gettext @0.19.8.1
llvm-3.4 @3.4.2
cctools @895+llvm34
ld64-127 @127.2+llvm34

}}}
I ended up fixing the problem by changing my universal architectures in
/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf
as follows:
{{{
# CPU architectures to use for Universal Binaries (+universal variant)
#universal_archs i386 ppc # breaks libcxx binary support
universal_archs i386 x86_64
}}}
which enabled me to find the prebuilt libcxx here:
https://packages.macports.org/libcxx
Anyone whose macports started out on OSX 10.5 could have this problem.
Should it be documented on, or linked from the libcxx page above?
