looks like your RANDR issue is a known bug, looking out on the macports.org website
What does 'Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-XXXXXX/:0"' mean?¶ mailbox:///C%7C/Users/Kevin%20Schuchmann/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/ezo1336t.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox.sbd/amsat-bb?number=2241226#randr
Many X11 programs try to use the RANDR extension, and print this warning when it is not available. The RANDR extension is not available in the Apple-provided X11 server in Snow Leopard and earlier. It is supported in XQuartz http://xquartz.macosforge.org 2.6.0 as well as the MacPorts X11 servers.
Unless you have a specific need for RandR functionality, this warning can be safely ignored.

Oscar,
After reading the posts today I figured I would go home and take a quick stab at it. Here is what I have done and my results so-far. Total time for these steps was about 10 minutes (and my port upgrade is still running... grrrrrrr...) Anyhow, hopefully this helps! I'm going to step away from the computer for a bit, when I come back later, i'll report back on the result of my final run!

Hello,
I have been having problems to compile Gpredict on mac. Is anyone gong to the AMSAT meeting and could provide a little help to compile Gredict?
