And

$ sudo port provides /opt/local/include/X11/extensions/Xge.h
/opt/local/include/X11/extensions/Xge.h does not exist.

Interestingly,

$ ls /opt/local/include/X11/extensions/ge.h 
/opt/local/include/X11/extensions/ge.h

Marking priority "High" because python transitively depends on this port, and modern *NIX systems are near useless without python.

What does

$ port installed xorg-xextproto

say (that is the port which provides Xge.h)?

r55035 ... only affects users who have not installed the X11 SDK with XCode... If people have installed that SDK (or Xquartz from MacOSForge), it will find the header in /usr/include/X11.

Updating to the latest rc for libXext fixes the problem because those headers are now packaged with libXext.
