#20153: p5-xml-namespacesupport @1.10 infinite loop in configure due to CPAN questions --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: league@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: cpan | Port: p5-xml-namespacesupport --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This one threw me for a ''loop'' — the configure phase for this package was taking more than 30 minutes. I stopped it and ran with port -dv, and discovered it repeating this question over and over: {{{ (1) Africa (2) Asia (3) Central America (4) Europe (5) North America (6) Oceania (7) South America Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] Sorry! since you don't have any existing picks, you must make a geographic selection. (1) Africa (2) Asia (3) Central America (4) Europe (5) North America (6) Oceania (7) South America Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] Sorry! since you don't have any existing picks, you must make a geographic selection. }}} I'm a beginner with MacPorts and with CPAN, so I don't know whether it's legit to rely on it to grab Perl modules rather than have explicit dependencies to other ports. I worked around it by running ‘sudo cpan’ and answering all the interactive questions, then trying the configure again. Complete logs (before and after) attached. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20153> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
