Have you done this at all? I have no clue whether that might be relevant to the specific error that you are experiencing, but I suppose it could be worth checking anyways…

Thanks, Eric, but I could not find any notes on gdb-apple.  I tried installing
it first, but still got:

Palapeli:palapeli [master]>port notes gdb-apple
gdb-apple has no notes.

But I have OS X 10.7.5 Lion, not Mountain Lion.
Can you tell me exactly what the notes say?

Thanks in advance, Ian W.
