installations not working

[Mark M Huntress]

I got macports recently and I tried to install molden and gcc44 and neither of them is installing. For Molden, it installed some other things, but never got to the point where Molden was installed. It kind of just ended up sitting there looking like it was working, just for like hours. 
 Now I am trying to install gcc44 and it is doing the same thing. It fetches, and extracts and configures, but then it just sits there building for hours, and I don't think it is ever going to work. 
 Is there something wrong with my macports, or something wrong with me? 
Thanks
