#25833: installing geomview hangs --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: celil.kj@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: geomview --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by dports@…): My guess is that what's going on here is that, due to a bug, dependency computation can take a very long time when there are lots of dependencies with many paths to each. This usually comes up when installing texlive +full on a system with no ports previously installed. (See http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- dev/2010-November/013219.html for more info about the bug. It was fixed in r73133, so the fix should be in the MacPorts 2.0.0 betas, but it's not in the stable release yet.) My usual workaround is to explicitly install an intermediate dependency like texlive-bin first to help speed things along. Although if you've got MacTeX installed already you might not have been looking to install another texlive distribution. You may be able to accomplish that by putting /usr/texbin in your binpath in macports.conf, but I can't speak to how well that works. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25833#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
