#47857: macports hangs configuring ghostscript while checking for gcc ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: david.sagan@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by david.sagan@…): Replying to [comment:4 cal@…]:
We've seen a couple of these recently, and somehow, there's always some standard process hanging for reasons we do not understand. In your case it's probably the check after the clang one (which probably checks whether the compiler actually works). Finding out what goes wrong here involves low-level debugging which nobody had the time to do yet (or is capable of).
We're speculating the issue may be due to Gatekeeper, but we really don't know. In any case, so far rebooting has always fixed it, even though that seems like a very Windows-y approach to things.
A reboot did fix the problem. Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47857#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
