py-graph-tool stuck at building stage

[absima@…]

I have 2 upgraded macs (from lion to mnt lion + from leopard to lion). Last time I have graph-tool configuration issues on both of them as reported in Ticket #40072. Editing the Portfile then as suggested in r109300 solved the issue.

Recently, I have updated the port using sudo port -v selfupdate . Then as I upgrade outdated , the process got stuck for a couple of hours at

---> building py27-graph-tool

I then tried replacing the portfile by removing the following line, like the suggestion in r109300

PYTHON_LDFLAGS="-L${python.libdir}/.. -lpython${python.branch}"

so that it uses the following instead

PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS="-L${python.libdir}/.. -lpython${python.branch}"

This didn't solve the issue. Still stuck at building process.

I hope the issue might be known since these are the same laptops I reported about in the aforementioned ticket. Please, let me know if I could provide the log/main files like last time so that I could get it work again. Thanks

Sorry, the heading should have looked like:

When you say that the process got stuck, what does that mean? Py-graph-tool takes hours to compile, even on very fast machines. The build process also uses large amount of memory. If you have 4GB of memory or less, the build will at some points probably start swapping to disk which will slow things down even more. Can you try to install using an unmodified Portfile like so:

sudo port -dv install py27-graph-tool

and type "top" in a terminal window when you think the build is stuck? If you see that "clang" or "kernel_task" is using lots of CPU, that means it is still compiling or swapping, respectively. If you still think there is a problem, please attach the log file.

yes, it took long when I installed previously. But, this time, it was strangely long. I left one of them running overnight; but it was still there.

About 3 hours ago, I did as you told me to. I see a series of warnings. I attached the screenshot from one of the Mac's. I also have attached the main.log files below. Please take a look at it and let me know if there's a fix. Thanks a lot.

The log files don't contain any information about the py27-graph-tool build. I still don't know if there is a build error or if the compilation is just very slow. Can you check "top" as I suggested above?

[absima@…]

Yes, I have done your suggestions. After a really long time (4GB RAM Lion) compared to the previous installation duration it needed before, it seems that it's installed. However, it's still impossible to import it from python. It automatically triggers python to exit and shows me some path issue, I think. Or may be different. I have attached the error displayed on the terminal.

Besides, I could not find the log file by search as well as the from the specific place I would expect it to be

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-graph-tool/py27-graph-tool/main.log

I have a very similar problem. It is now 1hr 25 mins since the installation began. Current status looks like: ---> Cleaning sparsehash ---> Fetching archive for py27-graph-tool ---> Attempting to fetch py27-graph-tool-2.16_0+clang38+openmp.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from ​http://jog.id.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/py27-graph-tool ---> Attempting to fetch py27-graph-tool-2.16_0+clang38+openmp.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from ​https://packages.macports.org/py27-graph-tool ---> Attempting to fetch py27-graph-tool-2.16_0+clang38+openmp.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from ​http://sea.us.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/py27-graph-tool ---> Fetching distfiles for py27-graph-tool ---> Attempting to fetch graph-tool-2.16.tar.bz2 from ​http://jog.id.distfiles.macports.org/macports/distfiles/py-graph-tool ---> Verifying checksums for py27-graph-tool ---> Extracting py27-graph-tool ---> Configuring py27-graph-tool ---> Building py27-graph-tool

after doing several other stuff above. Should I break and come out? What is the graceful way to roll back with no damage? Thanks.

After I posted this it got out!! :) Thanks.
