emerge fte failed (see error messages below). Note: I went to /var/tmp/portage/fte-20020324-r2/work/fte-20020324 manually built, and there were no errors. I did the following: make make install cd config cfte main.fte cp fte-new.cnf ~/.fterc I then verified that xfte, vfte, and sfte worked. Here are the errors from emerge fte: g++: Internal error: Killed (program cc1plus) Please submit a full bug report.

It turns out it was an out-of-memory problem. After adding substantial swap partition, it emerged just fine.
