Now, I tried installing python 2.5 independently with a package,
that seemed to work fine, but I still get the same error (I was
hoping it would detect the installed dependency and move on, but
alas, it does not).
Any help overcoming this setback would be greatly appreciated,
because I'm running out of ideas right now.
You are presumably on a 64-bit PowerPC machine, as in a G5? What
version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts are you using?
Actually, I'm on an Intel mac.
Sorry, should have mentioned that from the start.
Intel Mac, OS X 10.4
Using the latest version of macports.
After running into this problem, I tried installing the universal
macpython 2.5.1 with the .mpkg, ran port install again, same problem.
MacPorts is designed to use its own software only, not any software
you've installed manually outside of MacPorts. There are some
carefully-chosed exceptions, but I don't think python is one of them.
So if you're not on a 64-bit PowerPC machine, I wonder why it's
complaining that something is not a valid ppc64 mach-o file. Are any
of your ports compiled universally? (Did you say "sudo port install
foo +universal" for any foo?)
