And so on with others.

What am I doing wrong? It is my fault or Macports'?

Thanks.

Replying to jmr@…:

You need to provide debug output, as the message at the end of each of your quotes says.

That means, for example with zlib, which is a good place to start:

sudo port clean zlib
sudo port -d install zlib

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

Do you perhaps have a broken libz in /usr/local?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Any response, reporter?

[knithx@…]

It seems that a clean install of macports solved the problem. Thanks to all.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, glad you got it working.
