Have you been doing some fundamental changes to your system since it worked last time, did you change the file system (which fs is /var/tmp on?), or language settings, something else? And I assume you had enough diskspace when emerging? Another note: My startup.mk line 26 is the same, could you please post a little bit more of this file? Could you please also check, that dmake build gave no errors. And: Might it be, that you have some traces of dmake somewhere else on your system, did you emerge it or build it by hand? There were no changes to the file system layout (except for the transition from devfs to udev as described below). There was enough room on the harddisk (2.8 GBytes). The only fundamental changes since the last successful emerge was the change from devfs to udev (while upgrading from linux kernel 2.6.9 to 2.6.10). Regarding languages, LINUGAS="de" was introduced in /etc/make.conf just a few minutes after the last successful emerge of openoffice (kde-i18n was emerged one hour after openoffice). Uncommenting the LINGUAS setting in /etc/make.conf has the compile go on past the point of previous errors. The final word will have to wait some hours, though ;-) This is strange because another system (which is also Athlon-XP-based) has the same settings in /etc/make.conf including the LINUGAS="de" setting. There the compile went through without a hassle. A third computer (Pentium-IV-based) with the same settings in /etc/make.conf including the LINGUAS="de" setting also had no problems with emerging openoffice 1.1.4. Hmm, thats interesting, I also can't see how the LINGUAS setting could interfere here... Other than that: Good luck and btw: 2,8 GB could get tight, OOo needs up to 4 GB to compile... Okay, now I am confused. I stopped the emerge in order to get the requested information (dmake build errors, startup.mk contents). Then I activated LINGUAS="de" in /etc/make.conf in order to reproduce the error - and the compile went past the critical point again. I am baffled. I'd really like to understand this. Well, now I will keep the machine compiling. Regarding the up to 4GB ... after deleting /var/tmp/portage/openoffice* from all the previous build attempts 4GB is a piece of cake ;-) Thanks for the quick response anyway. Might have been some strange character or something like that in make.conf. Anway: It is gone, so closing. |
