"Bootstrap comparison failure" is an error message specific to the GCC build system. GCC is a very large and complex piece of software, and I don't understand its build system or why this error sometimes happens for some people. If you are also having problems building other less complex software, like dpkg, would you please show us the main.log file from those failures? They may be easier to diagnose. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
