Bug 89086 – packages segfault on build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description tmroy 2005-04-14 06:52:36 UTC]

When I try to emerge the latest version of gettext, it segfaults.
Note that this is a symptom of something else, as segfaults will also
occur on other compiles/emerges such as perl.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -v gettext
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
ranlib .libs/libgettextlib.a
creating libgettextlib.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libgettextlib.la && ln -s ../libgettextlib.la libgettextlib.la)
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.1/work/gettext-0.14.1/gettext-tools/lib'
Making all in libuniname

Sounds like you've broken hardware (bad ram, overheating box,...).

[Comment 3 tmroy 2005-04-14 07:55:39 UTC]

I can't even compile a new kernel!

BUT!!!!
The funny thing is, it works like a champ from the live cd ...
including compiling kernels.  

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-04-14 21:43:18 UTC]

if the livecd kernel works then why dont you try copying that to your install and boot with it

then see if things still keep segfaulting
