With the current 1.1a build with working X, icewm, and kde, 'emerge lyx' reliably fails while trying to emerge rcs. The output leading up to the error is as follows: --------------------- ./conf.sh: configuring #include <vfork.h> ... commenting it out ./conf.sh: configuring has_sys_param_h ...

This also fails if only emerge rcs is attempted. System has 400MB free on / and approx 6G free on /usr/local and /home. 750MB ram, 750MHz Duron processor. Regards, Neil Barnes
This is a problem with the rcs ebuild, and has nothing to do with lyx. I'm changing the title appropriately.
Hmm, works here on my gcc-3.1 system, what compiler/other system tools versions are you using?
Erm... I'm using the default stage three build, as of last friday. # gcc --version 2.95.3 # make --version GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath. Built for i686-pc-linux-gnu # automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p5 # bash --version GNU bash, version 2.05a.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Anything else? I'll try and emerge the 3.1 gcc and see what happens... Neil
Well I just had carpaski@gentoo.org test it on his 2.95.3 box and it worked there too, the way it is crashing there looks like it may be a glibc issue, if you haven't already keep your gcc-2.95.3, remerge glibc and then try it.
Sorry guys, Still using gcc 2.95.3, emerged glibc again (no errors) but still got the same problem :( Neil
works for me with 3.1
Works for us, check for possible other problems with your system...
you might try running memtest86 on your system because Micheal and I have a feeling that it could be hardware related.
Will try the memtest later today. No doubt it will take a little while to run, I'll get back in a couple of days :) Neil
