[Comment 1 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2002-08-07 03:50:38 UTC]

compiler version? portage version? 

[Comment 2 Avi Schwartz 2002-08-07 08:47:30 UTC]

Compiler: 2.95.3-r7
Portage: 2.0.25

[Comment 3 Chris Arndt 2002-08-08 23:20:52 UTC]

I would like to confirm this bug.
I see the same thing, and my versions are:
gcc 2.95.3-r7
portage 2.0.27

[Comment 4 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2002-08-09 00:03:05 UTC]

Hmm... One more question... What filesystems are you on? 

[Comment 5 Avi Schwartz 2002-08-09 00:15:57 UTC]

ext3

[Comment 6 Zaheer Merali 2002-08-15 01:47:37 UTC]

Just a note.  I also get the same.

Compiler: gcc-2.95.3-r7
Portage: 2.0.27
FS: ext3

[Comment 7 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2002-08-15 02:45:21 UTC]

is there filespace left on the harddrive? 

[Comment 8 Avi Schwartz 2002-08-15 08:19:07 UTC]

22GB Free.

[Comment 9 Zaheer Merali 2002-08-16 05:34:10 UTC]

I have 11gb free.

If I go into the build directory after the failed compile and run make, it
resumes the compile fine.  Here is the output for it:

.... something is strange

Created attachment 3132 [details, diff]
postgresql-7.2.1-r2.ebuild.patch

Please find attached postgresql-7.2.1-r2.ebuild.patch which fixes this problem.
 It seems the build doesn't like having concurrent jobs (make -j).  So
replacing emake with make in the .ebuild fixes it.

committed... thx for finding that.
