Description mehrunes 2010-03-04 05:13:35 UTC

error message was

Error: failed to open output file '/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-3.0.12/work/VirtualBox-3.0.12_OSE/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/VgaBiosBin/VgaDefBiosLogo.c'!

And if you suspect that i ran out of disk space or something similar, you are wrong: /tmp/ was 60G ramdisk (shm filesystem), nearly totally free; besides, i emerged many other packages that day, without problem

setting MAKEOPTS to -j1 fixed the problem: the package emerged successfully

To reproduce the problem, use multicore computer (mine had 16 cpus) and set MAKEOPTS to "--jobs --load-average=3"

i will enclose emerge --info, failed build log and successful build log

I'm unable to reproduce this on my Opteron machines with eight cores and MAKEOPTS set to -j8. Does this still happen with virtualbox-ose-3.1.8?
