Terminal hangs when installing rb-rmagick

I'm trying to install rb-rmagick and running into some trouble. The installation stops at "Building rb-rmagick". I know it takes a while, so I let it run overnight, but still don't see any progress. I'm running it on a brand new MacBook Pro so speed/memory shouldn't be an issue.

From http://rb-rmagick.darwinports.com/, the instruction says to do cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/rb-rmagick before you run sudo port install rb-rmagick, but I don't have the portslocation directory in my bin.

I've installed macPort.

Solution

  • I found out there's actually an error after doing sudo port -v install rb-rmagick. A font file was missing. There are a couple of ways to solve this. trac.macports.org/ticket/19602 has some explanation.
