On a PowerPC G4 (1.0 GhZ) Mac, running Mac OS X Server 10.4.9, with MacPorts 1.4.0 (grabbed out of the repo a few days ago), I'm trying to build gcc41. Sorry, I didn't build with the -v option but I probably should have. Anyway, on this machine, it has been trying to build for almost six hours and has not completed. Would this be considered abnormal or is gcc41 truly that much of a beast and requires many hours? It appears "stuck" at the final line below (again sorry I don't have verbose output): # port install gcc41

The machine I'm building it on shows that its CPU is persistently running full throttle, something has happening but my guess is that a process is hanging and it should not take over five hours to make and install gcc41. Thank you for any suggestions, -T.M.
