Configure recurses almost infinitely

[tommyb06@…]

There were several problems, one of which I couldn't see, or I may have sent with the wrong log file.

First of all there was this problem with confdir:

Error: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_archivers_gzip/work/gzip-1.4/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---/confdir-14B---: file name too long

Then this happened when it (finally) built.

Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed
(see log for details)

Is it normal for stuff to take almost 2 days to build on a 3.04 GHz machine???

It depends on what "Stuff" you're talking about.

If you want help figuring out why gajim failed to build, please attach its main.log file.

I don't know why you experienced that error with gzip. Were you able to build gzip after cleaning and trying again?
