Hi,
I have upgraded my mid 2014 MacBook Pro to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and installed
macports and, next, tried to install gcc9. This resulted in an endless series
of failures to activate ports, one after the other. At last, I took the recent
advise to Ryan Schmidt (Nov. 2) of a similar problem to clean all ports:"sudo
port clean all". This looked to bring me somewhat further, up the point that
the procedure appeared to hang and the Mac fan made an enormous noise, and
again it resulted in errors:

Then I took the advise to "install SDK as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools
package". This worked fine, but did not make a difference. And, finally, I took
the advice to "run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors":

It all leads me nowhere. Was it a mistake to upgrade to macOS 1014 for this
MacBook? It all worked nicely before with the Fortran compiler g95. However,
that does not work anymore with the new system, so I had to download gcc9. Gave
me this enormous sequence of errors which I do not know how to fix. I will
greatly appreciate assistance on this.
