After 'emerge gnome' i tried to run nautilus from the command line and after it poped up it just continued to make new instances of itself until it almost completely filled up all my ram and swap. After I killed it I "emerge -C nautilus", and then "emerge nautilus" and tried to start it again and it had the same results. Also (this may be an entirely different issue) when i edit rc.conf so that gdm and gnome are my settings and then try to log into a gnome2 session gnome will not load.. the splash screen comes up and the icon progress bar reaches the second icon and stops.. nothing else happens.. if i click on the splash screen it disapears but the desktop does not load any further... I think this might be related to nautilus but I not completely sure. Please help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login to a fluxbox session 2. start up a terminal 3. try to launch nautilus Portage 2.0.46-r12 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.1, glibc-2.3.1-r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-ck3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/gentoo "CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 3dnow apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg libg++ mmx mpeg ncurses pdflib png qtmt quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gtkhtml gdbm berkdb slang readline bonobo svga guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam libwww ssl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt motif opengl mozilla cdr scanner aalib alsa -arts dga flash freetype gd -gnome innodb -java -kde ldap -mikmod mysql -nls odbc -oss perl pic ruby samba tcltk tiff xml zeo" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O2 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
I tried this: I added "gnome" to my USE variables and did "emerge gnome -e" and after about 16 hours it finished. I did etc-update to all the files so that all the files were updated.. except for important config files like /etc/fstab obviously. Then I logged out and logged back in again, and tried to start nautilus from the command line in a gnome-terminal. I got the exact same response as before. First about 2 dozen error messages pop up, these say: "Application "nautilus" (process 20087) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Aborted)" And I also get about 2 dozen error messages that say something about "segv" but I did not get a good look at these error messages because after I clicked 'OK' on the first group of error messages the second group disapeared as well. I also got an error about the icon view failing to start. These errors do not seem to be reproducable. I loged out and logged back in and tried to start nautilus again.. it fail to start properly (it created about 45 instances of itself) but the error messages did not show up this time. Is there any information that I can supply to help this bug get resolved.. I would really like to be able to run gnome-2.2 on my computer.

Ok it works now. First I unmerged it. Then I deleted any files that were left on the system. Then I emerged it without oggvorbis support and now everything works. USE="-oggvorbis" emerge nautilus :)
hmm don't think -oggvorbis has to do with it really, probably some optimization problem somewhere.
hmm... maybe, but this system was installed about 2 or 3 months ago and the optimizations have been set to "-O2 -march=athlon -pipe" for the whole time. Im not one of these guys that likes to fool around with optimizations and then recompile his system every two weeks ;)
