I was able to make sure the build was actually processing by viewing the log file during the build and thereby ensuring that changes were happening. I think I just gave up the last time I tried to do the build because I thought it had stalled. The trick is to verify what's going on by viewing the file in real time. The build file is located in /var/macports/logs. Thanks for all the comments, suggestions and help. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25619#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
