Leopard originally shipped with Xcode 3.0, which had some problems.  
Xcode 3.1.x was much better, so several ports which have been found to  
have specific problems with Xcode 3.0 explicitly require you to  
upgrade to Xcode 3.1.x before you can use them on Leopard.

Now that you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, you need to uninstall and  
reinstall all ports. Please see the Migration page:
