Description Benjamin Rich 2004-11-16 13:43:38 UTC
Openoffice Ximian 1.3.6 compiles fine on my machine, with GCC 3.4.3, etc. but when it reaches the last stages of the compile which I assume should start up an install script, it gets as far as this:

and then simply hangs. Compeltely stops - no CPU activity, no disk activity, the emerge just sits there doing absolutely nothing. The rest of the system continues happily on.

Comment 2 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-16 14:49:24 UTC
Are you sure that you have enough diskspace, this looks a lot like a disk full problem...
Comment 3 Benjamin Rich 2004-11-16 15:53:14 UTC
I have 13.7GB free on the disk I'm installing it on. I wouldn't expect it to overflow that. I should also mention this has happened twice - and exactly the same error occurs each time. Once when I had 1.3.5 already installed; and once after I'd uninstalled 1.3.5, thinking this would fix the problem.
Comment 4 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-16 16:00:01 UTC
13 Gigs should be enough even for OOo ;) Which filesystem are you using on your /var-partition?
Comment 5 Benjamin Rich 2004-11-16 16:55:59 UTC
Well, I'm sure to be thrown out of town, but I use Reiser4 on my / partition (including .var, /opt, etc.) with the mm-sources kernel (which at the moment seems to be the only kernel package to support Reiser4). In my defense of using an apparently 'unstable' filesystem, I should say I've been using for 3 or 4 months (ever since it came out in ck/mm/dev sources) and I have never had *one single problem*, ever. Not one corruption, error checking the disk, fsck'ing the partition, nothing. I also have a 120GB drive full of media and music also formatted Reiser4, and not one single problem of file-loss or corruption there. I mess around with the system a lot, and in the last month or two I've probably done 3 'emerge -e world's, so compiling has never had weird problems like this for any other package, ever.

Basically, I have never, ever had a more stable and fast filesystem, so I don't think it's that, but I suppose it could be some weird error caused by reiser4 and the mm-patches not getting on well. The ebuild does hang on a copy, after all.
Comment 6 Denis Dupeyron (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-17 06:12:10 UTC
Benjamin,
I would say reiser4 is the problem. I had the exact same issue a few months ago. I thought it was solved, but I can't check as I'm not using reiser4 anymore.
One solution was to 'ebuild complete_path_to.ebuild compile' until it worked, then 'ebuild complete_path_to.ebuild install' until it worked too (usually once is enough), and finally 'ebuild complete_path_to.ebuild qmerge' followed by 'ebuild complete_path_to.ebuild clean'. Note that the repetition of 'ebuild ... compile' and system hanging completely borked my partition once.
Another solution is to use a partition in a different format than reiser4 for your /var/tmp/portage. If this works, you'll know for sure that it's reiser4.
Comment 7 Hanno Zysik (geki) 2004-11-29 10:55:32 UTC
just wanted to say that I have the same issue with reiser4. :)
Comment 8 Benjamin Rich 2004-11-29 14:48:26 UTC
Changed my root partition to reiserfs 3.6 and ximian-openoffice installs, so it looks like it is reiser4. damn =P
Comment 9 yoyo 2004-12-21 04:50:55 UTC
Imho, this is a bug due to reiser4 AND mm kernel patchset.

I've got this bug trying to emerge both openoffice-ximian-1.3.6 and openoffice-bin on my reiser4 /.

"ps aux" gives me pb with setup.bin (noted as defunct) and dmesg gives me call trace (I don't really understand) with "mm" expression at the and of line(s) (don't save this call trace, sorry).

As I have some other kernels w/o mm patchset (like cko), I try to emerge openoffice-bin (spent to much time with sources) and IT WORKS.

Rebooting with mm patchset kernel and launching OOo works.

Hope this helps to solve the bug.
Comment 10 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-23 13:58:24 UTC
This is not an openoffice bug, so reassigning
Comment 11 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-28 23:06:35 UTC
reiserfs4 -> you fix your own bugs
