Can't install Gimp on 10.5.1

[Michael E. Shamgochian]

Strange! This is pretty much a clean install of MacPorts - I've tried  
reinstalling MacPorts to see if that would solve the problem. Right  
now, I'm just getting this from port installed:

The following ports are currently installed:
   par2 @0.4_1+darwin_9 (active)
   unrar @3.7.8_0 (active)

(I installed those two with no trouble.)
