I'm not being ungrateful because believe me, I'm just the opposite. However, I would like to offer a bit of feedback. My experience with MacPorts has been pretty bad. If I had really _needed_ any of the software that I tried to install, as opposed to just evaluating it, I would have been pretty hosed, I'm afraid. I mostly appreciate the ambitious goal of MacPorts and I might try again later, but not soon. As I recall, I was mainly interested in wxMaxima (a symbolic math program), gcc with Ada (GNAT), and LyX (a technical word processor). I never succeeded in installing any of these from MacPorts.
I'm sorry to hear you were unable to install these ports. If in the future you wish to try again and you run into problems, please do report the specific details of the failures to us either here on the list or in the issue tracker so that someone can look into it.
