> You seem to often have ports asking for gcc11 on your 10.5 PowerPC
system. That should never happen!
>
> MacPorts has been set up to only use up to gcc7 on systems < 10.6
SnowLeopard. It should never ask for gcc11 on such systems. If it does,
there is some serious mixup somewhere happening.
>
> Please check and make certain that there are no places in your PowerPC
10.5 installation where you might have modified something to change
MacPorts default of only using gcc7 or less.

> (Now on systems >= 10.6, then MacPorts is set up to use gcc11. So on
PowerPC 10.6, which we try not to talk about too much here for fear of
getting everyone irate, you will get this screwball request for gcc11
sometimes as MacPorts is set up to use gcc11 on >= 10.6, so that needs to
be fixed here and there. But you should never see this on PowerPC 10.5).
Yes, this JAGS issue can be ignored, it does not arise with default config
on 10.5.8. I forgot to update it earlier, and now updated it with "solved"
just in order to make sure no one tries to fix anything, as no fixes
needed.
However tbb problem, when it asked for clang-7 on 10.5.8 PPC (as well as
on 10.6 PPC) is a genuine problem occurring with completely clean Macports
config on 10.5.8: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64027 (you know it, but
I leave the link for others' ref).
At the moment I have set up 10.5.8 with Macports with no changes to config
of the latter (on 10.6 PPC I have used your set up as the base, but added
several custom Portfiles that make failing ports built successfully:
indeed your examples proved very helpful and work in most cases).
