gmime no longer builds on leopard

[Boey Maun Suang]

Hi Micheal,

Just a quick follow-up: would you be able to file this as a ticket in 
Trac [1] and assign it to me (see the guide for instructions on how to 
do so [2])?  If you haven't got an account on Trac yet, you can create 
one with the "Register" link in the top-right corner of any page at 
trac.macports.org (we enforce registration to avoid spam).  Thanks.

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
