Erlang Build Failing on configure

[Robert Sanford]

I did the selfupdate and clean and ran the install w/ -universal (you are correct in my having +universal in the config although that doesn't always work) and it installed/activated/cleaned. Need to do some testing but am confident at this point. But...

What is the -univeral going to do to my ports that require universal (Python26 comes to mind) and share dependencies w/ Erlang? Is that going to change my dependencies at all when I want/need to upgrade those? Will I just need to make sure that I use +universal for those?

I requested for universal builds to occur by default on my MacPorts installation by putting "+universal" in my variants.conf; perhaps you did the same? The port builds fine if I don't do a universal build, e.g.
