Bug 113675 – compile is killed suddenly while compiling fluxbox

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Andrew Koller 2005-11-26 19:59:31 UTC]

when running the command: emerge fluxbox

xorg-x11 compiles as well as all it's dependencies, however, when the system 
actually compiles fluxbox, it will compile for a while, and then randomly the 
compile will be killed with the error message:  "i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++ 
Internal Error: Killed (program cc1plus)".   After this, it prompts me to 
report the bug and then goes to: Waiting for unfinished jobs....   and then 
hangs for until I stop the build process.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. be sure to be using the latest portage snapshot
2. simply use: emerge fluxbox
Actual Results:  
It produced the error: "i386-pc-linuc-gnu-g++ Internal Error: Killed (program 
cc1plus)"   prompted me to report the bug, and went to: "Waiting for 
unfinished jobs" and hangs until I stop the build process manually by ctrl c

Expected Results:  
The expected result was to finish compiling and have a successful compile 
which would enable the system to use fluxbox.

Just for information:

-I made sure all relevant packages were unmasked
-I am using the default CHOST,CXXFLAGS, and CFLAGS for a stage 3 installation
-MAKEOPTS="-j2"
-USE="-gnome -gtk kde qt network pcmcia"
-portage is up to date
-xorg-x11 functions properly if I start it with startx
-no other package has this error

Are you sure you have enough memory/disk space available?

Of course.  After it failed multiple times, I gave up and compiled icewm and 
KDE and they worked fine.  And the hard disk has plenty of space left and my 
RAM isn't even close to running out.
