#17898: readline installation failing ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: rob@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I am trying to install couchdb using macports (haven't used macports before - installed yesterday, version 1.700). I have been getting hung up on: $ sudo port install couchdb +server Password: ---> Fetching readline ---> Attempting to fetch readline-5.2.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/ I have also tried to install readline directly and it still hangs: $ sudo port install readline Password: ---> Fetching readline ---> Attempting to fetch readline-5.2.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/ I have been trying this since yesterday afternoon. I see some messages that talk about --with-readline and --without- readline. Is the answer here somewhere? I didn't want to just guess what to do with these, but can't find the actual answer. On my system, I see: /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/readline/readline-5.2.tar.gz.TMP (but since it is hanging, never finishes) I searched my entire hard drive for readline and see several locations... Any ideas how I can resolve this? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17898> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
