I tried on a MacBook Pro with MacPorts 1.6.0 and Xcode 2.5 on Mac OS  
X 10.4.11 and got this:

bswap.h:92:2: error: #error "You need to add endian swap macros for  
you're system"

So it doesn't work at all on Intel Macs. You must be using a PowerPC  
Mac then. What version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts do you have,  
and on what Mac?

I also tried on a Power Mac G4 (MacPorts 1.6.0, Xcode 2.5, Mac OS X  
10.4.11) and it worked fine. I do have "aclocal-1.6" in /usr/bin,  
which means it was provided by Apple. Do you not have this file? On  
my Mac, I believe it was provided by the BSD.pkg part of the Mac OS X  
installation. You could try reinstalling that pkg.
