Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field, and cc the maintainers.

Just do what the error message says, i.e. either use +universal or clean zlib.

Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting.

The log shows you are trying to do a 4-way universal build, and the error message is:

/usr/lib/crt1.10.5.o, missing required architecture ppc64 in file

Snow Leopard's system libraries don't contain ppc64, and though they do contain ppc, there's no reason to compile anything for ppc on Snow Leopard either, since Snow Leopard doesn't run on any PowerPC machines. Go edit macports.conf and set universal_archs back to i386 x86_64.

resolved, please close
