Whenever, I try to 'emerge gnome', it tries to emerge mozilla as a depedancy. However, I always get the following error when trying to emerge mozilla: gcc -o jsobj.o -c -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.4.26-co-0.6\" -DOSARCH=\"Linux\" -DEXPORT_JS_API -DJS_USE_SAFE_ARENA -I../../dist/include/js -I../../dist/include -I/var/tmp/portage/mozilla-firefox-0.8-r2/work/mozilla/dist/include/nspr -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include -fPIC -I/usr/X11R6/include -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wno-long-long -march=athlon-xp -pipe -Wno-return-type -w -Wno-return-type -w -Wno-return-type -w -s -fforce-addr -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -ffunction-sections -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -include ../../mozilla-config.h -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -Wp,-MD,.deps/jsobj.pp jsobj.c gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1) Please submit a full bug report.

I tried to use 'emerge --getbinpkgonly mozilla', but it complains I need to define PORTAGE_BINHOST. I tried defining PORTAGE_BINHOST, but every gentoo mirror I've tried just has 'placeholder' as the only content in the grp directory... So I can not build Mozilla, and I can not download a prebuild package. I also tried putting in a stub Mozilla package to bypass the dependancies, but then the other builds fail complaining Mozilla-1.4 or greater are required. Any suggestions? Perhaps a set of USE flags known to work on an athlon-xp for a successfull emerge of gnome and dependancies. Bill Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnome 2. -or- emerge mozilla 3. -or- emerge mozilla-firefox Actual Results: The build end with the an error, mozilla is not emerged, gnome is not emerged. Expected Results: Build the package, or allow me to bypass the dependancy completely. $ emerge info System uname: 2.4.26-co-0.6.1 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.10 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3. 2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups dvd encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
getting low on memory?
No, plenty of memory and disk space is left: $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 37884 27092 10792 0 720 8080 -/+ buffers/cache: 18292 19592 Swap: 2097136 17776 2079360 $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 4194108 1535840 2658268 37% / /dev/shm 2097152 528 2096624 1% /tmp none 2097152 224 2096928 1% /dev/shm /dev/shm 2097152 224 2096928 1% /var/tmp
37 meg total memory, 27 meg used, 10 meg free, do u call that plenty of memory??? My plenty of memory looks like this: $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1033828 1004668 29160 0 145488 471536 -/+ buffers/cache: 387644 646184 Swap: 0 0 0
2 GB of swap should be adiquate for any compiling application. However, after the tip to check memory, I tried moving my swap partition to a different drive. That seems to have solved the problem. My guess is there were hard drive errors reading and writting data to the swap. The /var/log/messages shows the errors.
Glad you got it figured out, Bill.
