Bug 19909 – I can't compile kdebase, gcc somehow segfaults.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Nir Peled 2003-04-24 23:22:06 UTC]

Well. 3 days ago I installed gentoo.
I really like it so far except some problems I'm having.
I was trying to emerge kde and I got this error while compiling kdebase:

URCE  -c -o configdialog.lo `test -f 'configdialog.cpp' || echo
'./'`configdialog.cpp
toplevel.cpp:701: internal error: Segmentation fault

!!! ERROR: kde-base/kdebase-3.1.1a failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 123, Exitcode 2
!!! died running emake, kde_src_compile:mak


That error occoured before and after I compiled gcc.
I just don't know what to do. I also asked the #gentoo team on the freenode
network (IRC), and they stumped, until someone told me it might be a bug.
Could you please check this and maybe even get back to me?

I appreciate it, thanks.

Nir Peled.

Work? :)

Problems of gcc segfaulting could be because of multiple reasons.

1)  Run memtest86 with all tests and all addresses switched on (in config)

2)  Check that you have at least 250mb of swap, especially when you have less
    then 128mb of ram.

3)  Check for enough disk space.

4)  Check that you do not overclock, or that cpu do not overheat.


Also please include the output of 'emerge  info'

First of all. Thanks for the reply. 
1) I did run memtest86. 
2) 
 
              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Swap:       489940          0     489940 
 
3) see 2. :) 
4) No, I replaced my fan a month ago and everything is fine. 
 
No one seems to know how to fix that. 
Anyways... here's my emerge info:

When the build fails, go back to the directory where it's being built and reproduce the last 
command that failed, except add "-save-temps" to the gcc command set.  That will generate a 
pre-processed .i or .ii file.  Post that here along with the complete command line and your 
CFLAGS.  Other people can then use that to see if it is easily reproducible.  If so, it's a 
compiler bug and you can go move the bug to gcc.  If not, the problem is on your end 
somewhere.
