 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.2.0
 Keywords:              |       Port:  Atlas
------------------------+--------------------------------
 I have been trying to install Octave using MacPorts for a few days now.
 I've tried each variant with no success, most of the time I just end up
 killing the process after several hours.

 After seeing ticket #40542 I tried:

 {{{
 $sudo port clean atlas
 $sudo port -v install atlas +gcc48
 }}}

 and after more than 12 hours it failed complaining of a missing
 libf77blas.a

 I'm using a new 11" Macbook Air running OS X 10.8.5 (12F37) on a 1.3 GHz
 Core i5 (Haswell) with 4GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 ram.
