I used “make install” with ‘BATCH=yes’ to install the standard options and avoid halts in the build process. However, the build process has been running now for 106 hours and is still running! My questions are: 1) Has the build process somehow got into a loop (is it possible to test for this?) and should I terminate the build? 2) If yes, what precautions can I take to avoid a repetition? I have spent some time looked through the forum and mailing lists but have been unable to find answers so any suggestions or pointers to existing solutions would be welcomed.
