Unable to Install gcc42

[biobrain@…]

I am unable to install gcc42, I have also tried sudo port clean --all gcc42 and then re-installing. Do I need to install something else?

Here is the error I am getting.

Last I heard, GCC was no longer working on this version upstream, so the "oldest" actively supported version on snow leopard is gcc43.
