OK. That downgrade was a success for me, but quite a long time ago, and I guess because of that time factor it is understandable (but frustrating) that it is no longer available to the automatic installer. So it appears we have to use a different approach. I just reviewed epa_build, and contrary to what I said before, there is, in fact, a designed provision I put in (but promptly forgot again) for the user to specify the number of parallel builds, using, e.g., -DNUMBER_PARALLEL_JOBS:STRING=1 (If you don't specify that, the default value is 4.) So when you are free from duty for a moment, please try -DNUMBER_PARALLEL_JOBS:STRING=1 when configuring epa_build to see if it solves the infinite loop with the epa_build of swig. (It should do. When I first ran into this bug, non-parallel builds were the (slow) workaround that I successfully used.) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
