sudo port install apple-gcc42

Please remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac, and remember to fill in the Port field and to Cc the maintainer of that port.

The log you attached says:

:info:build configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

So this is likely the same problem as in your other ticket #36867: you haven't installed the required Xcode command line tools.

Yes, installing XCode command line tools resolved this as well.
