Bug 75398 – emerge --update gtk+ fails for gtk+-2.4.13-r1 repeatedly each time with a bus error.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan 2004-12-22 20:55:52 UTC]

Anytime I run 'emerge --update gtk+' to update gtk+ to 2.4.13, a few minutes into compile time I get a internal compiler error: bus error and then emerge exits.  This is reproducable though it seems the bus error occurs during different stages of the compile.  I first noticed this when trying to update Gnome and then tried 'emerge'ing just the library.

My hardware profile is as follows:
Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop w/
2.2 Ghz Celeron
256 MB Ram
SIS 650 Graphics Chipset w/ 32 MB shared video memory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run the command 'emerge --update gtk+'
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The results from two runs are as follows (only the last makefile command and
successive output are given):

Expected Results:  
I was hoping to get a nice little regenerating ld.so.cache and possibly a few
config files that needed to be updated.  In other words, a successful update.

Assigning this to gnome, but this sounds like a hardware problem of some sort. Is gtk+ the only package you have problems with? Have you run memtest, etc on this machine?

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2004-12-23 07:36:26 UTC]

your 'emerge info' (read the bugreport form -> always add this!)

Here's the 'emerge info.' Sorry about the delay, but with the holidays and all...

Also, while it may still be hardware, memtest ran fine for about eight hours and KDE and all its packages compiled fine in about 15 hours.  It really seems like one of those weird anomalies that are difficult to find.  It may also be a bug in GCC because it seems to trip over 'extern' function declarations and variables.

[Comment 4 Jonathan 2004-12-31 20:52:14 UTC]

Sorry about all the fuss, but, I played around with the USE flags and got gtk+ to compile.  I guess I should have tried that before posting the bug.  

Happy New Year!

looks like a gcc problem, anyway not reproducable closing.
