xfig / date / libintl problem on a MacBook Pro

[John B Brown]

I've found that this sort of corruption can only be cured with;

sudo port -f uninstall installed

	If you are really lucky, the garbage will be greatly reduced. For full 
directions visit:

http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html

	Then, after a reinstall of port, look for xfig dependencies prior to 
installing it. Try the dependencies one at a time; it's easier to 
reverse errors singly.

	Macports is a buggy software scheme, as buggy as possible, but one can 
survive the bugs by exercising caution and care. Caveat emptor.
