When I try to emerge ~fluxbox (0.9.6) it fails with the following, Screen.cc: in member function 'void BScreen::SetupConfigmenu(FbTk::Menu&)': Screen.cc:1990 internal error : segmentation fault Submit full bug report ...(doing this now :) Make[4]:***[Screen.o]Error 1 ... ... ... !!!ERROR: x11-wm/fluxbox-0.9.6 failed !!!Function src_compile, line 60, exitcode 2 !!!(no error message) This is my first bug report, on the first attempt to get gentoo installed. I tried the forums, and IRC but no results so far. I appologise if this isnt properly done. -Many Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.login as root 2.emerge fluxbox (i have already set make.conf's accept_keywords unstable flag) 3.it compiles for 2 mins then fails Actual Results: Gives the error msg in the above details box. Expected Results: It would succeed in compiling and installing fluxbox. I have emerged xfree (stable version) although i used "emerge -k xfree", I tried emerge -pv fluxbox, and the USE flags highlighted in blue, i added to my USE variable, i assume that it needs the flags in blue. I did a stage 3 gentoo install and followed the install guide almost letter for letter, i did not (and have not) installed kde or gnome (or any other window manager), I am using the gentoo-sources kernel. My linux machine is a dual boot winXP, but i dont have a floppy drive so, i copied the error onto paper, rebooted and have done a search before posting here, hence the error report is not case sensitive.
Please post your 'emerge info' for a quick review. This looks like a compiler bug, not a bug in fluxbox.
Hi, Im sorry, I believe i have found the problem. Since it was my first install of gentoo I avoided all the advanced bits in the docs, and just did a stage3 install. Unfortunately this meant I did not do an emerge -u system, since the docs said it was for advanced users. I believe this is the cause of the problem. When I realised my mistake, I decided to do a complete stage1 installation with fluxbox, wine firebird etc... and had no problems I was unable to solve this far. Many Thanks, for your help, and I appologise for wasting your time. -Kenny
glad you got it working ;)
