Installing rvm hangs on mac os x

Question

I've been here kind of a while:

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
Installing required packages: autoconf, automake, libtool, pkgconfig, apple-gcc42, libiconv, libyaml, libffi, readline, libxml2, libxslt, libksba, openssl, curl-ca-bundle, sqlite3, zlib, ncurses, gdbm............

When running:

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

Not exactly sure why or useful debugging steps to take here. How to troubleshoot this? Will update this post as I find useful information.

Per log it got this far when I ctrl+c'ed:

---> Cleaning pkgconfig ---> Computing dependencies for apple-gcc42 ---> Dependencies to be installed: cctools llvm-3.2 gcc_select ld64 ---> Fetching archive for llvm-3.2 ---> Attempting to fetch llvm-3.2-3.2_1.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2 from http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/llvm-3.2 ---> Attempting to fetch llvm-3.2-3.2_1.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2.rmd160 from http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/llvm-3.2 ---> Installing llvm-3.2 @3.2_1 ---> Activating llvm-3.2 @3.2_1

Answer 1

try:

tail -f .rvm/log/MOST_RECENT_FOLDER/package_install_gcc46.log

Answer 2

Just wait even longer. Took me about a half hour, hour maybe? I haven't figured out how to get more verbose output on which steps are taking place, but "waiting longer" is a valid step to try.
