The very largest of our ports might require 1GB of disk space to build; using 30GB of disk space for a port build is completely abnormal. I don't know what it's doing. Perhaps it's related to #31604 [1]. Try the gcc45 variant instead? sudo port clean py27-scipy sudo port install py27-scipy +gcc45 [1] https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31604 _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
