Peter, did you laptop go to sleep while compiling GSL? On my 3 year old laptop (Sony Vaio SZ4-XWN/C, dual core 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM), I can run GSL's spkg-install in a little over 3 minutes real 3m6.588s user 3m33.239s sys 1m1.269s and all the self-tests (spkg-install + spkg-check) in well under 5 minutes. real 4m30.744s user 5m17.580s sys 1m15.578s so it seems strange for spkg-install to take over 15 minutes on your fairly new laptop. The only changes I've made to the laptop are * Replaced the 160 GB disk with a 640 GB disk. That was a few months back, so the disk is pretty new. * Wiped Windows Business and stuck OpenSolaris on it instead. (The best decision I ever made).
