I'm getting a similar error installing imagemagick. It gets hung up installing db46. I'm using macports. I tried installing the older version of xcode tools, but doesn't look like it worked. Is a reboot required?

I decided to download xcode instead:
http://developer.apple.com/

no problems.

port clean db46
port install db46 +no_java

This is fine if your application is not java based.

Hey Jason, thanks for the tip. The Java issue for db46 was getting ridiculous to solve. Multiple JDK installations, JDK version preference reordering, Mac Xcode reinstalls... no dice. Specifying +no_java was a perfect workaround, as my desired software did not require java.

Thanks again.

not the OP, but Jason's comment about installing the Apple Java developer app. A very quick and easy fix. Thanks J!
