#40542: Altas build fails during Octave install ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: andy@… | Owner: vince@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: atlas | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by jwbwater@…): I was happy to hear this worked for you Andy since I have been trying to install Octave using MacPorts for several days. I've tried each variant with no success, most of the time I just end up killing the process after several hours. So I tried: {{{ $sudo port clean atlas $sudo port -v install atlas +gcc48 }}} and after more than 12 hours it failed complaining of a missing libf77blas.a I didn't start a new ticket because it seems like the same issue, not sure why it works for Andy but not me. I'm using a new 11" Macbook Air running OS X 10.8.5 (12F37) on a 1.3 GHz Core i5 (Haswell) with 4GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 ram. I am a linux user and this is my first go with OS X, but I did get MacPorts to install TeX Live and that works fine. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40542#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
