First, according to the make output, the problem is actually occurring while building gettext. (See the dependency lines at the top of the output.) I'm assuming that the "infinite loop" you are talking about are the apparently cyclical and redundant configure checks. I'm not sure what version of the port you are trying to build, but I also noticed this behavior with a recent cvs build (and almost submitted a PR on it :).) If you look closely at the output of your run (and as it was in my case), the checks are not entirely redundant. Try just letting it run for a while longer; in my case it eventually got to the building stage. (btw, checking make here shows that configure does produce more output than your error log had...) Hope that helps. Peace, Clayton _________________________________________________________________ MSN Shopping upgraded for the holidays! Snappier product search... http://shopping.msn.com
