Problem installing libcompat

[Gary Ross]

On a PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.4.9 with all the latest versions of  
Macports (1.4.1) and Developer tools.
I'm getting this error:

11:04:04 $ sudo port install libcompat	 [ ////////////// sudo port  
install libcompat +darwin_8 gives the same result ]

I'd be grateful for ideas.
