The system is just installed. I typed 'emerge pango' when glib 2.2.2 is about to get installed make enters an infinit loop. (see the url for the complete output) The system is diskless. The first steps of the install is performed on the server (unpacking the stage3 file, passwd, fstab, resolve hosts). The machine then boots without any errors at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install from the current stage3 (stage3-pentium3-1.4-20030726.tar.bz2) 2.emerge sync 3.emerge pango Actual Results: make enters an infinit loop while making glib. see the url Expected Results: emerge should have been successfull contents of make.conf: USE="X gtk -gnome -alsa -kde" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fexpensive- optimizations -funroll-loops -fmove-all-movables" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" AUTOCLEAN="yes"
Is the date on the system set incorrectly?
Yes the date is set correctly. I removed the optimizations to gcc and restarted the glib emerge. Now in the morning the emerge is successful. Unfourtantly I don't have the output of this emerge, so I don't know if or for how long it looped. I started the emerge of pango, and that emerge loops in a similar way. Even if the emerge is successful it is really a waste of time looping like this.
The emerge of pango looped until I got this error msg: make: *** creating jobs pipe: Too many open files. Stop. !!! ERROR: x11-libs/pango-1.2.3 failed. !!! Function Gnome2_src_compile, Line 39 Exitcode 2. !!! compile failure
Hmm, any idea if auto{make,conf} was already installed by this time - or rephrase, does it do it with autoconf and automake updated to latest, and not from stage3 ?
Problem is solved. I replaced the RAM and now everything works. just swithced the memmory modules between two boxes, and now both boxes runs perfectly! So this bug should be Closed - Invalid.
Closing.
