This task is to upgrade my libiconv version to 8.0.0. for my scientific software. But i actually got similar complaints for all my ports. I did sudo port clean libiconv before i install. I'm using 10.5.8 for my OSX and Xcode 3.0.

Xcode 3.0 is probably too old. Please update to Xcode 3.1.4, clean gperf, and try again.
