The problem I have now is that I cannot get the latest Ruby18 port will not install in one of the FreeBSD systems I look after. After an otherwise apparently normal make and make install, process ruby18 stalls at "Generating RI" in "sread" state, thrashing the hd or paging memory in an apparently endless I/O loop. Under top, swap stats are: Swap: 512M Total, 126M Used, 386M Free, 24% Inuse, with In and Out changing like crazy. Computer in question is a very old box: (i386/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron) with very little memory. FreeBSD is version 5.5p8 From archives, Google, etc., it appears others sometimes have this problem--process stalled in 'sread' state--but I didn't find anywhere an explanation of the problem or a solution. Maybe someone here at freebsd-ports can help? I hope so. Thanks. -- Jacques "You can't always get what you want." - Mick Jagger
