Getting tcl via macports to compile on Leopard

With a fresh install of MacPorts version 1.6.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard, then issuing the command:

sudo port install tcl

returned:

I searched the web and found suggestions to deactivate odcctools, but the problem in my case is that odcctools wasn't even installed. So, instead what I did was temporarily move the arch.h file, rerun the install command, and it worked fine!

sudo mv /usr/local/include/mach-o/arch.h /usr/local/include/mach-o/arch.h.RENAMED
