The current version of openmodelica doesn’t need, or use, gcc44 and the +clang variant is also not required. I think that they have just not updated the mac instructions in a long time. Currently, all that should be required to install openmodelica-devel is adding the repository to macports, then doing: sudo port install openmodelica-devel +libraries (and even +libraries is not necessary, but adds a number of useful libraries) --Adam
