Description
I'm attempting to get gramps to run under MacPorts on my MBP running a fully-patched Leopard. I completely removed my MacPorts installation, installed a fresh one, and did a selfupdate. Running a 'sudo port install gramps' builds correctly, albeit with known bugs #13930 and #12875 along the way. When done, running gramps hangs. This can be traced to the "import gtk" command hanging in python2.5. Trying to import gtk also hangs the terminal session quite thoroughly (immune to ctrl-C), but the Python process can be killed from another session.
My complete list of packages installed is attached as a text file.

I waited at least 15 minutes (I just left the terminal open while I was doing other stuff). CPU and disk activity was basically nil, and it looked very much like a deadlock situation.
Thanks for the tip on port installed. I'm re-attaching the resulting list, although I've added other packages since I submitted the bug. In any case, every package is active, and there are no inactive or unusual variants (as one would expect from a clean start).

I think 15 minutes is definitely more than enough time...what does
echo $DISPLAY
say? If it looks like /tmp/launch-3gPr9M/:0 then it should be okay, in which case, what happens if you first launch X11 then try the import gtk?

Embarrassingly, it was indeed my X11 process hanging. Restarting it solved the problem. Gramps now runs fine. I'm closing the ticket, and my apologies for the false alarm.

And I guess I can't close the ticket. Would someone please close it for me? Thanks, and again, my apologies.

How long did you wait for the import? Here, with py25-gtk 2.12.1 installed, an 'import gtk' takes several seconds as it has to wait for X11 to launch (and X11 may want to do a font scan, which could take longer still).
Also, FYI, using 'port installed' is a better way of seeing what you have installed as it will show the version, active/inactive, and variants used.
