There is a wx-config in /opt/local/lib/wx-devel/bin/wx-config, and a /usr/bin/wx-config. Is there some confusion between these?

Apparently wxWidgets-devel breaks with our conventions. In that case, just change the dependency to port:wxWidgets-devel. That's not a change I expect us to be incorporating officially, however.

How did this script get there? Did you install some other wxWidgets binary package before perhaps? If so, that might be interfering, and you should uninstall it.

Hi,
sorry being this late with my own comments, but:
1) pgAdmin3 port next version (1.10.1) is still in the works
2) this is due to the fact that wxWidgets it needs must be built 32-bit, being Carbon-based
3) wxWidgets-devel (2.9.0) can not be used, I've checked upstream, and doing it is still not high in their priorities (also 2.9.0 is not complete, and it is not a stable release)
4) postgresql84 didn't build reliably with universal needed with 32-bit build (now somebody had committed changes implying this would be possible, but if the patches are equal to those attached to the ticket referred, they caused a lot of size-related warnings, which doesn't make me happy. I have to check the port, but I managed to corrupt my port tree, so that takes a while)
