Changed summary title from python27 to octave.
The following is the last line of the infinite loop followed by output after I entered Cntrl+C to terminate the command:
sudo port install octave
I was watching the install using tail -f /opt/local/var/.../octave/main.log
and saw following line repeating endlessly:
:info:destroot Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at ./doc/interpreter/mk-qthelp.pl line 30, <$HTML> line 831.
I entered Ctrl+c to terminate the install command and the following is termination output:
