Have you modified MacPorts or the poppler Portfile? I don't see anything unusual in the poppler Porfile regarding compiler selection. It merely says that it requires C++17 and C11 and thread-local storage; MacPorts should select a compiler satisfying those requirements.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I don't think so. On my PowerBook G4 I have Tiger and Leopard installed:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root x11   5063 12. Feb 23:11 /Volumes/Leopard/opt/local/var/macports/sources/nue.de.rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/graphics/poppler/Portfile

and am using these configuration files:

Sources.conf has been modified to include my local clamav-legacy port:

Should I check some particular file?

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The portfile must be wrong. When trying to quit it vi tells me

E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm not sure what you mean by your last comment.

In any case I am able to reproduce the problem on Tiger on Intel.

I think the problem is that MacPorts base has not put any compilers into the list of possible compilers. I don't know why.

The same problem was reported for R in #64669 however the cause there may be different.
