"Random" errors are normally a sign of either faulty hardware or too less diskspace. How much free space did you have before starting the compile? OOo needs up to 4-5 GB I've 70 gigabytes of free disk space, so disk space isn't a problem. (Depending on the largest component, it's possible - though very unlikely - I'm running into a virtual memory problem.) Likewise, I've done fairly exhaustive testing on the system, and I'm not seeing any errors. (Though it should be remembered that a tool can't find an error it isn't programmed to detect.) Over the weekend, I'm going to try the vanilla sources. I'm also going to try to add some flags for debugging GCC activity, see if I can get a better mechanistic description of what's going on. Still: Random errors are not the fault of the ebuild, so not a lot we can do here, closing |
