Thanks again for all of your help. I'll try again and see if I can put
forward the proper information:
To recap, "sudo port -v install zim fails". Here is what the main.log
says (apologies for the length, but I'm not really sure what is the most
significant portion of the log):
$ sudo port -v install zim

We would need to see what is in the above-mentioned main.log file to know what
went wrong here. I don't see any tickets filed for p5-file-basedir in the issue
tracker.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The salient portion of the main.log file is below.
You pasted part of the log for help2man, so I could refer you to the existing
ticket about help2man build problems. But above we're talking about a problem
building p5-file-basedir, so I would need to see the p5-file-basedir main.log
file to know what went wrong there.
help2man is for some reason extremely problematic to install. See this latest
ticket:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27457
For what it's worth, one of the posters to the bug tracking page reported that
for help2man:
The problem was that perl's Locale::gettext was not properly installed.
Attempting to install it through ports or cpan also failed, complaining of a
missing libintl, or being unable to find the gettext libs.
I was able to install Locale::gettext by obtaining the source, and running
CC='cc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib ' perl Makefile.PL
before 'make&& make install'
After Locale::gettext was installed, I was able to install help2man through
ports.
Yes, I read that note... I don't know how to apply that information to fix the
portfile. Or rather, at the moment, help2man is building fine for me, so since
I don't know how to make it fail to install, it's hard for me to test any
potential fixes. I could suggest some portfile patches that you could try, to
see if they resolve the help2man build error for you.
For me finding and installing the source code for a perl library seems more
trouble than it is worth.
Certainly; we don't intend to have you install perl libraries or anything else
manually in order to use MacPorts; in fact we specifically recommend not doing
that. But it's interesting to know that even for users where the port fails to
build for whatever reason, it can build successfully manually. This suggests
that a fix is possible, we just don't know it yet.
I'm starting to think if I want linux-y type things like GNU software, my best
best may be just to install a linux distro in a virtual machine. I'm
digressing off topic here, but just the fact that I have to register as an
Apple Developer and give them all sorts of personal information to get Xcode
makes me think trying to use the *nix tools with which I am familiar is going
to be a pain. I was hoping I could have the best of both worlds with my Mac,
but I'm starting to be pessimistic. I hope someone will tell me I'm wrong
though!
MacPorts is a great way to install UNIXy software on Mac OS X. Mac OS X is a
fully POSIX-compliant BSD-based UNIX operating system so it's not so hard to
do. Usually there's just a few configure arguments or environment variables
needed, and that's the kind of knowledge that's encoded into MacPorts portfile
so that you don't have to research it and try it out yourself.
I'm sorry you find Apple's requirements for downloading Xcode inconvenient; you
should provide that feedback to Apple, since it's not something we have any
control over. If you'd rather not provide that information to Apple, you could
also find a copy of Xcode on your Mac OS X DVD, though it's probably outdated.
Certainly, if you like, you could also install Linux or another operating
system on your Mac, either replacing Mac OS X, or on a separate partition or
hard disk, or in a VM like you said.
