MacPorts Install Error: "The following dependencies failed to build"

[Vik Rubenfeld]

Thanks very much for the info, Ryan.

I have two other Apaches installed (although both have been stopped  
while I work on installing the MacPorts amp stack).  If I " cd /opt/ 
local/bin" and run "sudo port -f uninstall libiconv", will that  
remove anything the other Apaches need to have in order to work, or  
will it only remove the libiconv used by MacPorts?

Best,



-Vik
