Has anyone else noticed how slowwwww downloading the patches for the mpfrMacPort is? I need mpfr as a prerequisite for the gcc41 and gcc42 ports. At first my attempt to install mpfr failed like this:
# port install mpfr ---> Fetching mpfr ---> Attempting to fetch patch01 from http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.2.1/ ---> Attempting to fetch patch02 from http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.2.1/ ---> Attempting to fetch patch02 from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/mpfr ---> Attempting to fetch patch02 from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/general/ ---> Attempting to fetch patch02 from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/mpfr Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
But then I re-started like this and the patches started to download and install but it took a relatively large amount of time. I'm wondering if anyone might know why?
The server may temporarily be slow. Please retry.
FYI, I hope that MPFR 2.3.0-rc2 will be ready for the beginning of August.
Vincent, thank you for the heads up. With some extra patience, I had no problem retrieving MPFR but it just took some time that's all. Thank you for your contribution to MPFR. It plays a vital role in GCC and there are some people who are doing some serious numerical solutions that require Fortran as well with OpenMP! Best wishes, Tabitha --
