sbcl fails strangely during build

[fusion@…]

I'm having a kind of a strange issue with building SBCL. I used to have it installed, ran into some issue and started manually installing it. Thought I'd take a second look and see if I could figure it out.

Anyway, I uninstalled it. Now I have tried installing it. This happens:

--->  Fetching sbcl
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for sbcl
--->  Extracting sbcl
--->  Applying patches to sbcl
--->  Configuring sbcl
--->  Building sbcl with target all

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

(no restarts: If you didn't do this on purpose, please report it as a bug.)

Yup, it basically brings up a Lisp interactive prompt. I have no clue what it wants from me here so I type (quit)

If I try a second time to install it I get this instead:

Not really sure what to tell you about it. SBCL has kind of a wacky build system (but a bit better than CMUCL's).

sbcl port 1.0.17_0

I'm seeing something that may be related. First, the sbcl build hung after finishing genesis-1 (I think, I didn't think to check with ps to see if it was still running, etc). After killing the port process, I just tried executing "port upgrade sbcl" again, which got me to the "no such file, make.sh" error.

Doing "port clean sbcl; port upgrade sbcl" then gave me this at the tail of the output:

So that error is a bit different but the process symptoms are the same.

Is this still reproducible, sbcl has seen several version updates since?
