gtk2 @2.24.23 stuck during install

[frederic.stark@…]

Each time I try to install gtk2, it is stuck forever in "---> Building gtk2" with g-ir-scanner using 100% cpu. This happens even with -b for binray install. It makes install of anything that depends on gtk2 impossible. I let it ran several hours with no discernable change.

The g-ir-scanner process is stuck at 100% cpu, is using 1.3 Gb of real & private memory and 6.37Gb of virtual memory. It is not stuck in an infinite loop as it did 2 million context switches, and is still doing around 500/second. It generates 200 page faults/second. It did more than 2 billion unix system call and the counter overflowed.

Machine have 8GB of RAM + SSD drive. Xcode 5.1

Please preview your post before posting in Trac. Please attach the main.log.

[frederic.stark@…]

gtk2 install main.log

[frederic.stark@…]

Sorry for the formatting bug. Attached main.log. Python process still running, 4 hours of CPU time, 18.37GB of virtual memory.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Can you try to find out what the process is doing, e.g., by using opensnoop or dtruss on it?

I wonder why your system doesn't use the prebuilt archive. Did you explicitly disable binary downloads?

[frederic.stark@…]

Sure! Snoop gives nothing (after a couple of minutes)

> sudo opensnoop -p 43014
  UID    PID COMM          FD PATH

dtruss spawn thousands of those:

Err 25 is ENOTTY, and according to man pages:

[ENOTTY] fildes is not associated with a character special device.

[ENOTTY] The specified request does not apply to the kind of object that the descriptor fildes references.

On the binary side of the stuff, I put the '-b' at the wrong place in the command line. When I do it correctly, I get the following:

Output of "port -d -b install gtk2"

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Based on this, I would run

sudo port -d rev-upgrade

to see why it considers gtk2 and the others to be broken and address those issues directly.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Actually your log file contains this information and it looks like atk and icu are outdated and need to be upgraded. There may be others. Have you tried

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated

[frederic.stark@…]

This solved it. I had to mix '-b' and not, but after a few hours, everything seems fine. Weird problem that gtk2 does an endless loop at install due to outdated ports, thought.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

It actually did install (from binary archive). I think, the rest was post install attempts to fix the broken binary dependencies. Glad we got it working for you.
