If I run e.g. "portmaster -L", I get quick progress to ghostcript, where portmaster might pause for over a minute. Perhaps the number of options increased? The "extra hour" is an exaggeration on my part, and I apologise for it. I haven't built ghostscript from ports for a long time now, so cannot comment on the build times. Anton
