Did you follow the migration instructions?

Hi, previously I did not. But after seeing the migration webpage I did exactly what is told there. However I am still getting the error while building the gcc47.

The error I am getting while executing the following command:

         sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt

The error is the following:

Hi -- you're running into this error 53076 which has not been fixed yet.

I worked around it by downgrading texinfo as per the post I made. It needs a more comprehensive fix, though, and that hasn't yet been done.
