Is Mac ports expected to be very broken on 10.5?

[Barry Scott]

I install 1.7.0 on 10.5.6 from the DMG
and then did

	sudo /opt/local/bin/port -v selfupdate

then did

	sudo /opt/local/bin/port install wireshark

that failed failing to find GTK+ during configure.

I assume that a dependency is missing no problem I'll install GTK+.
A also wonder if /opt/local/bin needs to be on the path.

I then run

	sudo su -
	PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
	port install gtk2

this fails thus:
