Matplotlib +gtk2 hangs on "Staging py27-matplotlib into destroot"

[jwing45@…]

Matplotlib +gtk3 hangs on "Staging py27-matplotlib into destroot" for my new macbook pro but not my early 2011 Macbook Pro. Fresh Macports installs on both. I diff'd the verbose output files for the output of the following steps (starting Macports from scratch) and they are identical with the exception of the hang:

   > port install python27
   > port install py27-numpy
   > port install py27-scipy
   > port install py27-matplotlib +gt2

On the old macbook the build ends normally as:

   >  Staging py27-matplotlib into destroot   (THIS IS WHERE THE NEW MACBOOK HANGS)
   >  Installing py27-matplotlib @1.3.1_4+cairo+gtk2
   >  Activating py27-matplotlib @1.3.1_4+cairo+gtk2

The default backend is the interactive Mac OS X backend. Different backends can be specified using the ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file. More details regarding backends can be found in the matplotlib FAQ:

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers py27-matplotlib).

Hmm, I can't seem to reproduce this at all. I see some warnings with trace mode on but I don't know if that's a red herring or not:

The only difference between the new Macbook and the old Macbook, other than their ages, is that the new one has settings migrated from the old Mac, and the old one now has a fresh OS build with nothing on it (but MacPorts). But like I alluded to, I did a fresh build of Macports on the new Macbook (after removing it completely ala ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html) on both machines.

Right. But without someone else being able to reproduce, you will have difficulty getting this fixed. Can you try without the +gtk3 variant? This might be a duplicate of #30882.

OK - I just rebuilt the OS from scratch without any migration and it builds OK. Some setting somewhere was messed up by the migration. Thanks for your help!

Great to hear!
