For the record, you can always stop a build by typing CTRL-C, and it will not corrupt anything. Only at the install stage are any files permanently changed. If you do "port clean" after stopping the build, you will be right back where you were before the build. David On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 4:13

On 10.5 you installed a prebuilt binary. gcc6 takes 12 to 24 hrs to build on a PPC machine. I should make my premade binaries available. K > On Mar 20, 2018, at 14:32, Andreas Falkenhahn wrote: > > > > So I installed gcc6 on my 10.5 G5 PowerMac a few days ago and it was a breeze. > It took

So I installed gcc6 on my 10.5 G5 PowerMac a few days ago and it was a breeze. It took just a few minutes. It looked like the installer just grabbed the binaries and installed them. No big deal at all. Now I am trying to install gcc6 on my 10.4 G4 Mac Mini and it seems to build everything from

I can't tell if this is a bug in MacPorts, or if I have simply misconfigured something. When I start up `ipython notebook`, with python-2.7 as my selected python, everything works fine, but I get a complaint echoed to the shell: ``` [TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | Subcommand `ipython notebook
