Starting from a fresh MacPorts 1.8.2 installation I used the following commands (output shown after the commands!):

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gcc42

Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

Attached is the output of the last command using the -d option!

Thanks for any help!

Output of "sudo port -d install pdftk"

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

While the failure is with gcc42, it seems like this port should use Apple's gcc 4.2 on Snow Leopard. Ryan, any thoughts?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

pdftk needs gcj which is not part of Apple's gcc.
