I deleted all my inactive ports. I then ran this command: script bigbuild.log sudo port -pdk upgrade --force installed +universal
in an effort to build all my ports universal. The -k option was used to keep the builds in case I had to run the command again. After a few hours of compilation, ports started failing with "too many open files" errors. Eg: ./libtool: cannot make pipe for command substitution: Too many open files I tried the command again with the same result except that it was much quicker due to the already built ports. Viewing the memory usage with Activity Monitor showed only a few MB of free memory. Whether this is the cause I do not know. The virtual memory used by tclsh was around 550 MB and was slowly increasing. System: iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram. Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Xcode 3.2.1 (1613) Port 1.8.1 I need universal libraries in an effort to build Gnome, although at the moment this is stymied by xulrunner-devel failing to build. I have 641 ports installed. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
