cdf @3.3.1_1 Build uses too much memory due to mpfr built with clang

[ralph@…]

Using 10.7.2, Xcode 4.2, trying to build cdf.

gets past configuration stage OK.

Build process spirals out of control. At one point a cc1 process was taking over 7GB of memory, and I eventually had to reboot the machine after it offered to kill off various programs due to memory shortages.

This is probably not an issue specific to cdf. I had similar issue last week trying to install gcc46.

Here's where it is getting stuck:

make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_science_cdf/cdf/work/cdf33_1-dist'
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_science_cdf/cdf/work/cdf33_1-dist/src/lib'

cdf was updated to 3.3.1.1 yesterday; "sudo port selfupdate" to receive that update and see if it makes a difference.

If the problem persists, try patching the portfile to use gcc45 or gcc46; let me know if that helps or if you still get the same problem.

File individual bug reports for individual ports. The gcc problems are filed as #31604.

Problem persists with cdf 3.3.1.1
Problem persists after switching portfile to use gcc45
I can't use gcc46 because it fails to install
