error building/configuring ninja

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hey,

I was upgrading ports on my Leopard system 10.5, I missed a couple of 
weeks.. a lot of "big stuff" built well though :)

ninja fails - it is not directly selected for upgrade, it must be a 
dependency.

bootstrapping ninja...

Do you have an idea?
