Math::Pari Taking forever and a day..by scottstef (Curate) |

scottstef has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am trying to install Net::SFTP (via cpan) and one of the requirements is Math::Pari. When I install Math::Pari, it seems to take forever on its testing.
Running top on the machine shows the cpu being pegged and it has been like this for over a day.
Math::Pari seems to be hung on test number 26 under t/nfields. I know this has failed a few of the graphing tests, but I don't plan (or know how) to use them.
Is this normal? I am running this on a red hat 6.2 box with a 450mgz processor and 128 mb of ram. I also had the guy in the next cube try installing it and it got hung at the same point. Any help would be appreciated. "The social dynamics of the net are a direct consequence of the fact that nobody has yet developed a Remote Strangulation Protocol." -- Larry Wall
