Error installing xorg-server

Okay, here is the tail end of the log file. Hope it helps:

:info:build Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_xor

main.log is 5.8MB - too big for me to email. If you want the whole  
log file, I can post it online for you to download. LMK

Thanks for your help,
