Try it out. HAve you checked you memory lately? Alexander.Rauth@promotion-ie.de 2004-06-11 09:00:04 0000 What arch you use??? CC flags ??? mine: CHOST="alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -mieee" I just synced my portage tree and try to build it again! And I'll boot to SRM to start a memtest. But I don't think it's a mem problem. It's always the same font file and I've tried several xfree ebuilds over a long period and rebuild gzip with various CFLAGS (all 4.3.99.** failed, 4.3.0* builds) Alexander.Rauth@promotion-ie.de 2004-06-11 10:22:33 0000 same problem with xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1 will do the srm memtest now LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../../exports/lib XLOCALEDIR=../../../exports/lib/locale ../../../exports/bin/bdftopcf -t lubR19.bdf | gzip > lubR19.pcf.gz LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../../exports/lib XLOCALEDIR=../../../exports/lib/locale ../../../exports/bin/bdftopcf -t lubR24.bdf | gzip > lubR24.pcf.gz LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../../exports/lib XLOCALEDIR=../../../exports/lib/locale ../../../exports/bin/bdftopcf -t lutBS08.bdf | gzip > lutBS08.pcf.gz make[5]: *** [lutBS08.pcf.gz] Error 139 make[5]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1/work/xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi' make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 Alexander.Rauth@promotion-ie.de 2004-06-11 11:01:08 0000 I'm not that into srm... memtest -rb -p0 should do the trick ... ???? It always trys to start from address 0x00000000 and fails maybe the srm_version is to old??? agriffis@gentoo.org 2004-06-21 19:27:00 0000 I can confirm this on a different alpha, same file. I'll look into the problem. agriffis@gentoo.org 2004-06-23 11:33:45 0000 ok, fixed with gzip-1.3.5 which includes an alpha fix Alexander.Rauth@promotion-ie.de 2004-06-24 11:25:04 0000 I emerge gzip-1.3.5 and xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1 everything worked fine! thanx!!
