Yes; it's 1024*1024.  Think of powers of 2.

Thank you for that suggestion.  I updated to command line tools 8.3.2 (I 
have xcode 8.3.3) but the /usr/include* problems are there, as well as the:

:info:build In file included from gstopenjpegdec.c:27:
:info:build In file included from ./gstopenjpegdec.h:29:
:info:build ./gstopenjpeg.h:42:12: fatal error: 
'openjpeg-2.1/openjpeg.h' file not found

:info:build #  include

An error in a file in /usr/include makes me suspicious that you may not have 
the correct version of the command line tools. Please try updating or 
reinstalling the version of the command line tools that is appropriate for your 
version of macOS and matches the version of Xcode you have installed.

In trac, there's a patch at https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51512 for 3.16.0,

The availability of an update for meld will have no effect on James' inability 
to build one of meld's dependencies.

"Abort trap" means "it crashed". If you want to know more than that, you have 
to look at the crash log file.

Re: macports' hardlinks and time machine backups

[Peter Hancock]

To a rabid base2 fanatic, the "10" in 2^10 is
repulsively decimal. What is it? 2^3 + 2 = 2^(2+1) + 2
or 

  2^(2^2^0 + 2^0) + 2^2^0

if you prefer.  Ugh.

Aren't there numerical notations that use a comma
to chunk digits 4 at a time?  And in the binary world we use 10?!

I would have thought that to a base2 fanatic, the "G"
should be 2^(2^5), ie. 4 decimal G's. 
(2^2 + 2^0)'s not so bad in the world of powers of 2.

Thanks Ryan.

That sucks, quite apart from the woeful UX of MiB.

Mebibyte? Really? Kibibyte? Gibibyte?

It sounds like a toddler demanding a smartphone.
