Comment (by ballapete):

 On PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, my version of `Pango 1.54` builds without
 flaw, but `test` fails:

 The original `pango-devel port` fails `test`s like this:

 So `help2man` seems to be the problem on PPC Tiger? (I think it had no
 problem on PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, but I am not sure, so I'll check
 afterwards.)
