Bug 4589 – emerge fails for kdelibs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John McCawley 2002-07-05 12:59:10 UTC]

I am running Gentoo 1.2 on an AMD K7 1800 machine with 128 megs of ram and 256
megs of swapspace.  I have about 2 gigs free on my HD.  I've successfully
emerged X11, Gnome, and several other large packages, but KDE will not emerge
properly.  I've tried doing an emerge rsync, but the problem persists.  Below is
the tail of the output from the emerge:

I'd say you were running out of memory. 256+128 MB ram is little, especially 
for a machine of your caliber (judging by the processor at least). 
If I'm right this should solve the problem: edit 
/usr/portage/eclass/kde-dist.eclass and remove or comment out the line that 
says myconf=""$myconf --enable-final". Also consider removing -pipe from your 
optimization flags in make.conf (-pipe holds temporary files in emmory instead 
of writing them to disk). Try watching or logging your memory usage while 
emerging to see if it reaches the upper limit.

I tried what you said and it kept up, so I ran top like you also suggested.  It
turned out that my swapspace wasn't activated.  I tured it on and the problem
seems solved (currently emerging, but it previously bombed out VERY fast).

OK, that's a good solution :-) Closing, fixed.
