Oh! Yes that would do it too. :) Glad you figured it out.

That does sound like one of the usual Leopard issues, however I have  
no problem installing rrgbis on Mac OS X 10.5.4 PowerPC with Xcode  
3.1 and MacPorts built from trunk. Is your OS and Xcode up to date?  
Is it really the rrgbis port that's issuing this error message, or is  
it one of rrgbis' dependencies? You snipped the part of the output  
that would have told us. Still, all of its dependencies clearly also  
built for me on Leopard so I'm not really sure what's wrong. Are you  
using Apple's X11 (I am) or Xquartz?
