I would like to confirm same problems regarding gnome

sudo port install gnome

- fails on compiling zenity package (same error), but gnome desktop launches without any problem. After this "gimp" installed via macports, fails to launch - exactly same kind of problems reported by Andreas.

Note that I am running macports on a MacBook (Intel Core Duo), too.

The GNOME maintainer, rhwood, keeps a couple of useful webpages:

http://homepage.mac.com/rhwood/gnome/index.html
http://homepage.mac.com/rhwood/darwinports/gnome.html

It seems that there is a problem with the zenity package. Is that right?

I don't know anything about zenity.  Note that I did not self-update
my macports for a few days (though GNOME is working here too) but I
just tried to install it on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook, and got a
python malloc error:

Is that similar to your error?

However, GNOME is working i can start it and use it, seems so haven't
looked at it much deeper.
Is there a way how to install the remaining packages? (except the not
working zenity)

If the packages you want don't depend on zenity, 'port install '
should just work.

Second question: Installing GIMP through MacPorts (having installed
cairo via the GNOME) stops when reaching the installation of (i
think) py-cairo. Does anybody know how to get GIMP working? Should i
do a force install?

Sorry - I haven't tried the macports GIMP.
