math/R eats up all.

[Rick Voland]

Can anyone else confirm a problem or lack of problem building math/R 
with the build option for math/atlas using the new gcc42 ?

Last night, I rebuilt math/blas and math/atlas successfully using their 
default settings.  I have had no problem with them.

Then, I built math/R selecting all the options in the options window 
(letterpaper, dvi manuals, atlas).  I know from previous attempts that 
math/R builds successfully on this machine using the latest gcc42 with 
all options except when I select math/atlas.  When I delete 
/var/db/ports/R/options (to reset the options), math/atlas is not 
automatically selected.

math/R built up to the point of starting lapack stuff (right after 
graphics devices), and then stops building, but R continues to use 100% 
CPU cycles.  I allowed it go for two hours with no more progress.  R 
(without atlas) would complete in maybe 20 minutes.  The computer 
remained responsive, but I had to kill R.

math/R built successfully with math/atlas on this computer before the 
change to gcc42.  In my make.conf, I identify the CPU as Pentium-M, but 
I have no optimization settings in make.conf.

Thanks,
