Again, sorry I was lazy and did not trim details not relevant to the current response in the thread...

You asked which version of alr I was using:
alr --version
alr 2.0-dev

Ok, I set those environment variables and now I will try "get"ing a package, responding "Y" if the package is incomplete and if there does seem to be a corresponding MacPorts port which I have not installed, will install it.

Again, referring to your prior response:
gcc -dumpmachine
arm64-apple-darwin22.6.0

Thanks,
