Comment (by evanmiller):

 After fixing the typedef issues, I banged up against the absence of
 {{{libproc}}} on Tiger. You can see that [https://github.com/htop-
 dev/htop/blob/master/darwin/DarwinProcess.c DarwinProcess.c] needs both
 {{{proc_pidpath}}} and {{{proc_pidinfo}}}. This issue is discussed in
 [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/58160 #58160], where the forecast for
 backporting these functions on PPC does not look great.

 It might be possible to patch {{{htop}}} to disable certain features on
 Tiger. However, absent a significant patch, I'd suggest that the
 maintainers disable this port on Tiger for now.
