Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I am getting the following error when I try to build the vlc port on my powermac g4.

herminio-hernandezs-power-mac-g4:~ herminio$ sudo port install vlc

Error: VLC cannot be installed for the configured build_arch 'ppc' because it only supports the arch(s) 'x86_64'.
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

The message is correct. The VLC port does not support PowerPC processors. It requires an x86_64 processor.
