I would let Macports do what it wants to do.

It then wants to install clang 5.0 and llvm 5.0, at which time I said "no" and let the thing terminate. I really don't want to install another compiler. I have gcc up to 7 and I don't think clang works particularly well with Snow Leo. (I also don't think clang 5 would build on Snow Leo).
