New description:

 Hi,

 I am trying to install Octave, upon which Atlas is a dependency.  I have a
 recent macbook pro with SSD and plenty or RAM.  The Atlas installation
 never finishes even though I have let my computer run for several days.
 It always gets stuck at the point I indicate below.  How can I at least
 diagnose and fix this problem?
 Please see below.

 Thank you.

Comment:

 Atlas should take many hours to compile on modern hardware, but not days.
 You can check the logfile, whose location is printed by the command:

 {{{
 port logfile atlas
 }}}

 but it's possible the end of the log is truncated. You could run the
 install with the verbose flag to see exactly what it's doing at the time
 of the hang:

 {{{
 sudo port -v install atlas
 }}}

 Note that single-letter flags like `-v` must appear between `port` and the
 command (`install` in this case), and have no effect if used elsewhere on
 the command line.
