 I am trying to install couchdb using macports (haven't used macports
 before - installed yesterday, version 1.700). I have been getting hung up
 on:

 $ sudo port install couchdb +server
 Password:
 --->  Fetching readline
 --->  Attempting to fetch readline-5.2.tar.gz from
 ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/

 I have also tried to install readline directly and it still hangs:
 $ sudo port install readline
 Password:
 --->  Fetching readline
 --->  Attempting to fetch readline-5.2.tar.gz from
 ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/

 I have been trying this since yesterday afternoon.

 I see some messages that talk about --with-readline and --without-
 readline. Is the answer here somewhere? I didn't want to just guess what
 to do with these, but can't find the actual answer.

 On my system, I see:
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/readline/readline-5.2.tar.gz.TMP
 (but since it is hanging, never finishes)

 I searched my entire hard drive for readline and see several locations...

 Any ideas how I can resolve this?
