emerge -u xfree fails with an error in src_compile function. It fails every time i try to upgrade on this computer, I haven't got any other gentoo-computer with the same xfree version. The problem came when doing a "emerge sync && emerge -u world". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoo with xfree 4.2.1-r2 2. emerge sync 3. emerge xfree Actual Results: It compiles a lot of thing correctly (not other ebuilds, but parts of xfree), but fails with the following error: Writing 223 characters into file '9x15-ISO8859-1.bdf'. rm -f 9x15B-ISO8859-1.bdf perl ../../../fonts/util/ucs2any.pl 9x15B.bdf ../../../fonts/util/map-ISO8859-1 ISO8859-1 Writing 223 characters into file '9x15B-ISO8859-1.bdf'. rm -f 9x18-ISO8859-1.bdf perl ../../../fonts/util/ucs2any.pl 9x18.bdf ../../../fonts/util/map-ISO8859-1 ISO8859-1 make[4]: *** [9x18-ISO8859-1.bdf] Segmentation fault make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts/bdf/misc' make[3]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts/bdf' make[2]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts' make[1]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 !!!

change "-march=pentium2" to i686 i think coppermine is pentium3
no copperming _is_ pentium3 change to pentium3 or i686
# grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo model name : Celeron (Coppermine) And in make.conf in a comment above CFLAGS it says: "pentium2 (Celeron)", that's why I choosed pentium2. But shouldn't pentium3 be compatible with pentium2? Anyway, I'm compiling with CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" right now, I'll return with the result when it's done, or failed.
And it failed, but this time *not* with a "Segmentation fault" but still while compiling fonts. Here's the tailing lines: rm -f 7x14t.bdf perl ../../../fonts/util/bdftruncate.pl 0x3200 < 7x14.bdf > 7x14t.bdf rm -f 7x14Bt.bdf perl ../../../fonts/util/bdftruncate.pl 0x3200 < 7x14B.bdf > 7x14Bt.bdf rm -f 8x13t.bdf perl ../../../fonts/util/bdftruncate.pl 0x3200 < 8x13.bdf > 8x13t.bdf rm -f 8x13Bt.bdf perl ../../../fonts/util/bdftruncate.pl 0x3200 < 8x13B.bdf > 8x13Bt.bdf make[4]: *** [8x13Bt.bdf] Error 139 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts/bdf/misc' make[3]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts/bdf' make[2]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts' make[1]: *** [includes] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc' make: *** [World] Error 2 !!!

I just emerged two times, and got two diffrent errors, but both Segmentation faults. The first one was the same as the one in the bug-report, but the second was in another font, but still a font in the bdf/misc. It seems it always failes when "Writing xxx characters into file 'xYxxx-ISOxxxx-x.bdf'." in the xc/fonts/bdf/misc directory. And /always/ with a "Segmentation fault".
which clock frequenzy does your cpu provide ? do you have enough free discspace ? fontconfig is up2date ? try i686
My CPU provides 700 Mhz. When it fails there's about 200 MB space left. "emerge search fontconfig" tells me I've got the latest available version installed, version 2.1-r1. I've got problem on one of my other computers failing when compiling because it gets to hot, so I need to turn on an external 230V fan. But I haven't had any problems with heat on this computer, and I dosen't seem to be the problem here, but I'll turn on the external fan, to be completely sure. I'm compiling right now with: CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
celeron 700 is pentium3 arch with a) less fsb b) less cache (2nd level)
Possibly perl isn't built correctly, or one of its dependancies, or it's corrupt somehow. sig 11 on different files in that directory could be one of the usual causes, memory (or other hardware) problems. You could try to build the fonts manually, after it's failed :- #cd /var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r2/work/xc/fonts/bdf/misc #make clean then repeat #make if you hit one that fails, try running the perl ../../../fonts/util etc command manually. If you can get it to build one that segfaults, it doesn't bode well for your hardware.
I type "make" and it /compiles/ and failes somewhere, if I then type "perl ..." it /compiles/ fine, I can then type make again and it fails somewhere again. And I can continue to do that forever. I'll try removing perl and emergeing it again to see if that helps. I'll be back when that's done, I'll properly take some time. Thanks for the help, and I'm sorry if it's a /false/ bug.
you don't have to remove things just emerge <package>, then it overwrites the old package please try memtest from the latest livecd, maybe your memory is bad
I have tried a lot of diffrent combinations of USE flags, compile flags and done a memtest. My memory seems to be fine, and if I compile perl perl-5.8.0-r9 everything works fine, xfree compiles as supposed, and everything else I've tried. But when trying to compile perl-5.8.0-r10 it fails. I don't have any idear what the problem is, but currently I'm using perl-5.8.0-r9 and everything works fine, except that many new packages require perl-5.8.0-r10.
bjarke, can you please file a new bug report with your perl compile errors?
Bjarke, is this still an issue?
No it is not, the computer on which the bug was present had to be repaired, so I'm installing gentoo from scratch, and there's no problem with xfree.
First issue seemed to be incorrect issue. Could not reproduce second issue with perl.
