Fortunately you can find precompiled blas, scipy and numpy (pkg_add -r py-numpy works). But i was out of luck with matplotlib, which required pkg_adding gcc-42 and then compiling tons of stuff. One of them (agg, i think, requires DISPLAY to be set and accessible in the configure script !!!) hence breaks the build for matplotlib. -- Michel TALON ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Is this correct??? blas is required by py-num, which then effectively requires the two gcc's. br - Nikolaj A few days ago, gcc-4.3 became the default fortran compiler for the ports. Go ahead and erase the gcc-4.2 compiler - create the gcc-4.3 compiler, and everything after that will be fine. If you don't want to increase kern.maxdsiz, then it looks like setting WITHOUT_JAVA will stop that error occurring. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Go ahead and erase the gcc-4.2 compiler - create the gcc-4.3 compiler, and everything after that will be fine. 1) What is the realtionship between this gcc and the gcc used to compile the system? 2) Do you know why this isn't noted in /usr/ports/UPDATING? Answers: 2) You make a good point. Why don't you raise this on po...@freebsd? This should be corrected. In fact, I am going to copy this to po...@freebsd. 1) I think that in most cases, the only reason why gcc is brought in is because the gcc that is in the base system does not include a fortran compiler. So any port that uses fortran (e.g. lapack, etc) has to install a fortran compiler. Having said all this, why doesn't bsd.gcc.mk first check to see if gfortran42 was already installed, and then only install gfortran43 if a fortran is needed? But I have the impression that quite a few changes have been made to bsd.gcc.mk recently, so some mistakes are understandable.
