Trying to install kde, the program dies running emake. This happens every time on the pakcage kde-base/kdelibs-3.2.2-r1 The error message said it might be a hardware or os problem because it says the bug is "non-reproducible" (which is strange, because it happens everytime I try to emerge kde). I had been having problems with my memory being recognized in the bios (at start up) which I thought I had fixed (by troubleshooting a bad memory module, which I removed). I tried emerging gnome once, and a similar error occurred as when I try emerging kde. I also lowered the CXXFLAGS from 02 to 01 in /etc/make.conf. Same error in kde still ensued. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.no special steps, just type "emerge kde" 2. then wait for the compiler to die at the same point every time as quoted below: Actual Results: usr/qt/3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/kde/3.2/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -DNDEBUG -DNODEBUG -02 -01 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -c -o ksyntaxhighlighter.lo ksyntaxhighlighter.cpp The bug is notreproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem make[3]: *** [ksconfig.lo] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/kdelibs-3.2.2-r1/work/kdelibs-3.2.2/kdeui' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/kdelibs-3.2.2-r1/work/kdelibs-3.2.2/kdeui' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/kdelibs-3.2.2-r1/work/kdelibs-3.2.2 ' make: *** [all] error 2 !!!

It's a local problem, most likely stemming from your "bad memory". not much I can do for you here, sorry.
