 Replying to [comment:39 ryandesign@…]:
 > How much memory is in your computer? If you have two processes using
 1.5GB of real memory each, and you only have, say, 4GB of physical RAM
 (some RAM is needed for the OS and your other apps), your machine will
 grind to a halt as it uses swap instead of RAM. You might mitigate that
 somewhat by interrupting the build (^C) and then retrying it without
 parallel building:
 > {{{
 > sudo port install gcc44 build.jobs=1
 > }}}

 My machine has 8 GB of memory, but even though the f951 processes only use
 the stated 500 MB - 1.5 GB each, my memory usage still ends up being 99 %
 and ~ 5 % cpu usage.

 I will try using only one process and a different compiler. But as I
 downgraded to xcode 4.1 I guess I have already tried llvm-gcc-4.2 and that
 still does not work.

 Thanks for your advices :)
