Thank you Randall for taking time to reply to my request for help.   I
tried your suggestion.  However, the process still fails.  I also
tried downloading, and installing, the library directly from
http://sam.zoy.org/projects/libcaca/  using the library install
instructions from that site. Then I tried running the install again,
but I continue to receive the same error, which makes me wonder if the
checksum being used to validate the file may itself be incorrect.

Below is what happens when I tried your suggestion:

Thanks again for your help!
Best,

In this case, it seems that the libcaca source code did not download
correctly. Try this:

sudo port clean --all libcaca ; sudo port install libcaca

If that works, then pick up with building gnome again.
