gnome-session compile runaway

[William Davis]

I noted gnome-session had been updated and started upgrading it but!
1. many hours later it is still running on my intel core duo @1.86 GHz
2. gcc 4.0 was recomplied
3. python was recompiled at least twice
4. perl 5.8.8 has recomplied I dont know how many times.......many
5. on trying to fetch perl5 5.8.8 the last time I noticed DEBUG wrote
"perl5.8.8...blah....gz doesnt seem to exist in /opt/local/......./ 
perl58/perl58/perl58/perl58 etc etc etc perl58/perl58  (repeated  
total 9 times)

Is it somehow creating a new souce (sub) dir everytime around? or is  
this just an artifact of multiple dependecies?

considering how much time has elapsed, I dont want to stop it if this  
is "normal" but neither do I want to let it run if its going to fill  
50 megs of disk available with more and more copies of perl.

what should I do?

btw it also bothers me that somewhere in there I saw something like  
"target = osmac 10.3 " go by.
(I have 10.4.10, and the curent xcode and macports)

please advise.
