The solution is to put a use flag for it of "-java". But, this should be fixed.

Please hold, this may be a problem with my system overall. I have tweaked runtime kernel settings. I am reverting those tweaks and seeing if it will work now. I think it may be a kernel bug for that "tweak" because it neither ran out of virtual memory, nor memory. virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory gmake: *** [cmPolicies.o] Error 1 gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... --------------------------------------------- Error when bootstrapping CMake: Problem while running gmake --------------------------------------------- Log of errors: /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/cmake-2.6.3/work/cmake-2.6.3/Bootstrap.cmk/cmake_bootstrap.log
Confirmed, pilot-link merged with java use flag. I had the following set... echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory And apparently the system did not like that, so it told those processes to quit. I'm thinking they asked for a whole whack of "virtual" memory. i.e. reserved but not necessarily used, and because of that option, it was denied.
