Some ports that had deep dependency lists _somehow_ caused Make to go into an infinite loop in the configure target. I worked around it by cleaning up everything (removing the files beginning with `.' that are used to indicate that stages are done, as well as the work/ directories), then doing some of the lower-level ports individually before the upper-level ones. This is not to say that some ports don't have long compiles, but if you are seeing the same output over and over, especially if it looks like lots of short compilations and some messages about what facilities are available, you may be hitting this problem.

I'd say that something has quite clearly gone wrong there. You can kill the compilation using 'Ctrl-C' (maybe required several times) -- that's the usual was to kill any misbehaving process under Unix. Before re-trying the compilation, cvsup(1) the latest version of the ports to pick up any fixes that may have gone into the tree in the mean time. Thank you very much...I tried Ctrl-C and with just one try it stopped and said "You have Mail." I do not know what happened...I do not use CVSup because I can not...with the networking configurations that we have in the office...I have been dowloading CTM deltas...I will try to ctm today...and use portsdb -Uu to update my ports...
