If it was '-NDEBUG: No such file or directory' then you're running  
into the tcl environment problem with 10.5; see the second entry at

<http://trac.macports.org/wiki/LeopardProblems>

I'm guessing you installed MacPorts 1.6.0 if you say from a binary  
package.  A workaround exists on trunk, but hasn't made it into any  
"official" MP version.

The workaround for it is to run the command again; as you've seen,  
running things in multiple steps also works.

And no, this hasn't been fixed with 10.5.3.
