I run 'emerge gkrellm', emerge correctly identifies gkrellm-2.1.23 as the most current for me, downloads successfully, untars and begins building. I have gcc 3.2.1, which then successfully compiles some source, and segfaults on 'mail.c'. Following is a copy of the ebuild output: zion root # emerge gkrellm Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-admin/gkrellm-2.1.23 to / >>> Downloading http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/gkrellm-2.1.23.tar.bz2 --00:18:36-- http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/gkrellm-2.1.23.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/gkrellm-2.1.23.tar.bz2' Resolving www.ibiblio.org... done.

(no error message) zion root # (end of the output) Apparently we want a full bug report with preprocessed source. I think I know what preprocessed source is (the c preprocessor does all its DEFINE's and IFDEFS and comes up with straight c files, right? those get cached somewhere?). Supposedly here on bugs.gentoo.org there are instructions, but they don't happen to be floating around the huge 'Report Bug' link, so I haven't seen them yet. I haven't attempted to reproduce it because that would certainly wipe out what pieces of compilation (perhaps preprocessed source) that we *do* have, and hence could make it tougher to track? I'm really not sure. Anyway, I've never had an ebuild fail before on my gentoo box here, for nearly two years running. May sound like a miracle to some, but perhaps I've been blessed, and was shocked that it segfaulted in an app that so many people use. So that's why my bug report sucks so bad; never had to file one. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Should have completed ebuild process successfully, build and installed the gkrellm binary.

Argh. Is there any way I can edit the description to wrap the really long lines? If I would have known they were displayed in a 'pre' tag, I'd have made it look sane. This is terrible, and I apologize.
could you try 2.1.24 ?
Well, I have no moral opposition to it :) Seriously, though, 2.1.23 is the version that was chosen by emerge... I'm not certain how to make emerge use a version that isn't in my portage tree. Do I run 'emerge gkrellm-2.1.24'? Is 2.1.24 the current one in portage so that I should 'emerge sync' when I get home? Anyway, I'd be happy to try to emerge a newer ebuild version, but just grabbing the tarball and building it from scratch places it outside of my portage tree and doesn't really tell us why the ebuild failed. I'm sure I can compile up a copy of gkrellm, because I've done it in a couple of slackware boxes (one last week and one last summer)
emerge /path/to/foo.ebuild
closing with 2.1.24 stable
Yep, thanks! Ebuilding 2.1.24 was successful. Before I tried that, I attempted to ebuild 2.1.23 and it failed repeatedly. I don't know what was changed, but it did the trick, thank you so much!
