#50791: Installing a port with lots of uninstalled dependencies fails with "Too many open files" -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: grigutis@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by Joel.Brogniart@…): The problem is frequently seen with OS X 10.11 as the max opened files per process is severely reduced. With OS X 10.9.5 "sysctl -A | grep kern.maxfiles" returned {{{ kern.maxfiles: 300000 kern.maxfilesperproc: 150000 }}} With 10.11.4 the result is {{{ kern.maxfiles: 300000 kern.maxfilesperproc: 10240 }}} So it went from 150k to 1k! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50791#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
