From the log, it stopped here:
:debug:activate system: /opt/local/bin/fc-cache -v /opt/local/share/fonts/Type1/gsfonts :info:activate Command failed: /opt/local/bin/fc-cache -v /opt/local/share/fonts/Type1/gsfonts :info:activate Killed by signal: 10
It was rebuilding the font cache which takes some time. Did you hit Control-C? How long did you wait before doing so?

I have the exact same problem on a Power Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and the excerpt from the relevant section of the log file is shown above with, what looks like, the reason of the failure. Can it be related to the issue in Ticket #53669 where I have this same warning while installing?

Replying to victorp-sg:
the excerpt from the relevant section of the log file is shown above with, what looks like, the reason of the failure.
Unfortunately no; your log provides no additional information beyond what we already know: that fc-cache is being killed for some reason.
:debug:activate could not read "/opt/local/share/man/man1/wftopfa.1.gz": no such file or directory
This is not relevant or accurate. MacPorts uses an internal global variable to store the last error message. Some types of errors occur normally while MacPorts does its thing and it ignores them and moves on to other tasks. In this case, that other task had an error but it did not store the new error message in the global variable, so that when the value of the variable was printed out, you saw this older irrelevant error instead of the correct one. Unfortunately MacPorts base code is complex and I do not know where in the code we have neglected to fill the global variable with the correct error message.

This is not relevant to this issue.

In the future, please fill in the Port field with the port that actually fails to build and Cc that port's maintainers (
port info --maintainers ghostscript
), if any.
