While this was happening I watched system memory and at no point did the system run very low. I have 2GB of memory and 1 GB swap online. I just emerged gcc 4.3.2 without issues this morning. chadgentoo Desktop # portageq match / "" | wc -l 1772 >>> Installing net-analyzer/gnome-netstatus-2.12.2 * checking 84 files for package collisions * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other * packages (see list below). Add either "collision-protect" or "protect- * owned" to FEATURES in make.conf if you would like the merge to abort * in cases like this. See the make.conf man page for more information * about these features. You can use a command such as `portageq owners / * <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a file. If * portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do NOT file a * bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at least two * or more packages that are known to install the same file(s). If a * collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from then * you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message. * * Detected file collision(s): * * /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-netstatus/C/figures/gnome-netstatus-error.png * /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-netstatus/C/figures/gnome-netstatus-txrx.png * /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-netstatus/C/figures/gnome-netstatus-rx.png * /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-netstatus/C/figures/gnome-netstatus-tx.png * /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-netstatus/C/figures/gnome-netstatus-disconn.png * /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-netstatus/C/figures/gnome-netstatus-idle.png * * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * * Press Ctrl-C to Stop * * None of the installed packages claim the file(s). * * Package 'net-analyzer/gnome-netstatus-2.12.2' merged despite file * collisions.
