Unable to install x11 ports

Thu Nov 11 08:12:11 PST 2010

What does 'cleaning the port' mean?  I need a guide to unix jargon, I guess.
My field is medical education, not unix or linux programming.

Anyway, here's the entire logfile:

OK, if the sunclock dependencies declaration is not up to current standards,
how do I submit a ticket?

I have also discovered that, since my G3/fink days, another of my X11
favorites, Celestia, has been released as a full OSX app, so the
functionality of sunclock and xearth are really all wrapped up in that.
