Gnome won't install

[Benedick Miller]

Hello,
I am new here. I couldn't find this issue in the archives, in fact I  
couldn't find a way to effectively search the archives. I have  
installed Macports mainly so I can install Gnucash 2.2.7 from source,  
for which I need gnome2 guile and slib . I have an intel MacBook pro  
with OS X 10.5.5 and Xcode 311_2517 (the latest I could find) and  
MacPorts 1.6.0 and  I did a "port selfupdate" before starting.

The steps I followed are listed below with the error messages. Having  
hardly got started I don't seem to have got very far. My initial  
reaction is not to bother with macports and simply run Gnucash in  
Windows in Parallels desktop :-( But perhaps some of you clever people  
can explain what I am doing wrong here?

Any help much appreciated.

Ben

Step 1:
$ sudo port install gnome

Which exited with the following errors:

The last thing on the list was zenity so I tried:

$ sudo port install zenity

At which point I gave up!
