#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

Anyway, doing selfupdate: $ sudo port selfupdate Password: MacPorts base version 1.700 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.700 The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated Then doing a sync: '$ sudo port sync' produces no output (so I assume some type of success) and trying to install readline succeeds using a new repo. So, I still think there is a bug, since I downloaded and installed MacPorts yesterday... thanks -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17898#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

thanks Note that that particular mirror was also removed yesterday, so you probably did the install just a bit prior to its removal.

I thought the hang was because the server was down or I was somehow having problems connecting, so i kept trying. This issue is closed for me, but I was wondering if it might be more appropriate to have some error message saying 'the repository is no longer available. Please run: 'sudo port sync' to update.' thanks -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17898#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
