I really was initially worried because there were some build issues. Then, was also very curious why two different machines would not end up with the same universal or not, for the same set of ports. It sounds like the answer, is that the variants that are installed depend on the install order. The other reason that I considered is that when not installing the default versions the machine can’t use binaries, which is a nice convenience for install time etc. > >> But, no easy way to figure out which combination?

I had to force the uninstall: sudo port -f uninstall libunistring Then do the installs: sudo port clean texlive-bin sudo port install texlive-bin This install found gnutils to be a broken ports, and it fixed it by installing libunistring (default) Then, I switched it to universal: sudo port install -n libunistring +universal (this also installed texlive-basic) Finally, I was able to install wine-devel successfully: sudo port install wine-devel Thank you for all of the assistance getting it working. —Adam
