qt4-mac infinite loop issue? (aka Getting a second MacPorts into action FAILS)

[Marko Käning]

Hi Michael,

can it be that this infinite loop is due to a qt4-mac dependency problem?
I tried to installed bash, pkgconfig, zlib and alike and had no problem so far.
So, I am afraid somewhere in qt4-mac or a dependency is a loop. :(

I'm installing now port by port manually and hope to see the loop disappear at some stage so that we can locate the culprit.

Greets,
Marko
