The problem here is that Mac OS X records library path locations in  
executables and libraries.  You could, I suppose, use  
install_name_tool to rewrite all of them, but that would be very, very  
tedious.  Also, it would require everything built to have enough room  
in the binaries for the new paths, which means they need to be built  
with -headerpad_max_install_names when linking (and most probably  
aren't).

You'd have to rebuild the port with the additional variant (if  
available), eg, 'sudo port install php5 +pspell' in this case.

Hmm, switching AWK with an empty string, smells a lot like the Tcl  
environment bug:

Clean the affected port (sudo port clean --work mysql5) and continue  
with your original install command.

You just changed the list of variants, so that's why it complained here.

That's the proper way to clear out the build configuration.

But mysql5 is the one that failed, so it's the one that needs the  
clean.  After that, you can either clean php5 again and reuse the  
original list of variants, or not clean php5 and use this new set of  
variants for php5.
