Issue Fetching glib-2.16.4.tar.bz2 for a GKrellM install

[jcridge@…]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to place this issue, but I'm in the process of installing GKrellM and I am unable to fetch the file glib-2.16.4.tar.bz2:

Macintosh:etc jcridge$ sudo port install gkrellm ---> Fetching glib2 ---> Attempting to fetch glib-2.16.4.tar.bz2 from ​ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.16/ ---> Attempting to fetch glib-2.16.4.tar.bz2 from ​http://mandril.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/linux/gnome.org/sources/glib/2.16/

My install then just sits here for hours waiting for glib2 to be fetched. I've been trying since fetch this file since yesterday. Who can I contact to correct this issue?

Thanks, jcridge

First of all, use port -v fetch glib2 to get output about the progress of the fetch. For me here fetch worked fine from ​this mirror.

You can also get the file from anywhere else and simply put it into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/glib2/. Then issue the install command again.

Thanks. That worked. I was able to fetch glib2 directly, but for some reason the fetch would stall when attempted from the GKrellM installation.

This ticket can be closed.
