Description Paul Foster 2008-03-07 04:40:01 UTC
I tried building a couple of ports using the "make" command, those being "unrealIRCd" and its dependancy, and "nano"  I was met with a looping compiler, I am new to FreeBSD so I didn't know it was looping till I watched it 5 hours later.  I tried to just get the package and work from there, I used the pkg_add command and was unable to retrieve the package from your servers with both nano and unrealIRCd.  I had to manually connect then download the packages to the directorys I wanted them in.  Keep in mind this release is freshly installed as of 22 hours ago straight from the 7.0 CD I downloaded from your ftp site.  If its relevent I'm using a SUN netra x1

How-To-Repeat: Try to make any port or "pkg_add -r" any package.

Please show us the evidence of your problems, don't just give your 
interpretation of the causes.

If gcc is "looping" it may just be trying to use more memory than 
present on your system, causing it to swap and perform very slowly.

Packages are believed to be available in the correct directory but were 
only put there in the past couple of days (note the delay in the release 
of 7.0 for sparc64).
