atlas @3.10.1 (math) octave @3.2.4 install fails by hanging indefinitely

[sathyanarayana-a]

Been trying to install octave via command: sudo port install octave.

The package atlas hangs indefinitely while installing. Have tried multiple times and left it to go for over 10 hours but no progress.

Terminal output:

New-MacBook-Pro:~$ sudo port install octave

Which machine are you running on? Do you try to build a universal version? Do you have a log to post? Thanks!

atlas can take a long time to build, depending on how fast your machine is.

You can enable debug output with sudo port -d install octave to see if it's still thinking about things or whether it's truly stuck somewhere.
