Failed to build doxygen while installing gnuradio

[red.carpet.guitar@…]

Hi using a yosemite on mid 2012 macbook pro. While installing gnuradio saw the following error:

Error: org.macports.build for port doxygen returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install doxygen

i tried cleaning the gnuradio port by using following command:

sudo port clean gnuradio

but still see the same problem while installing gnuradio.

I have attached the main.log for further debugging.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field with the port that actually failed to build and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers doxygen), if any.

As reporter, you do not need to Cc yourself.

The log says:

:info:build IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_doxygen/doxygen/work/doxygen-1.8.10/templates/html/search.js'

There seem to be some situations where MacPorts opens too many files. It seems to be when it has very many dependencies to install. You can avoid this problem by installing ports in smaller batches.

Try:

sudo port clean doxygen
sudo port install doxygen

If that works, then try installing other ports you want. You don't have to go so far as to install each port individually, but gnuradio has over 260 dependencies, which is currently problematic for MacPorts to install all at once.
