OK, colour me officially confused. The reply to the ticket was 'wontfix. When I went to bed last night, I left a fresh build of QT3 running, after having cleaned everything and done an 'upgrade outdated'.

Today the QT3 package has built, but doing "file `which qtconfig`" replies that the only architecture found is x86_64.... But the summary says that a '+universal' variant has been installed.

Anyway, following that I had a problem with eggdbus (missing header file), but after cleaning *that* port has also built, and I'm now building gnucash again.

More news as it breaks...

Regards, Andy
