Sorry about that. Downloading Xcode 3.1 is definitely the most time- consuming (though not the most difficult) part of the whole process. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure those 30 minutes of installs were not wasted; if they didn't give errors, my understanding is that those ports didn't require Xcode 3.1 and were installed correctly. I discovered the new 3.1 requirement in the same way (by getting an error on a port install). Once I installed Xcode 3.1, MacPorts just went on with installing the ports that had failed before, it didn't re- install the old ones, and this hasn't caused me any trouble so far. I'll update the Solfege wiki to emphasize MacPorts' Xcode version requirement.
