emerge --info follows some incidental details - this may be similar or the same as bug 142509, but for x86 instead of g/fbsd. i've been running this gentoo linux installation in a VMware VM hosted on ms windows XP for about a year and a half now, with frequent emerge --sync and world. this emerge world fails repeatedly on media-libs/openal-0.0.8 i'm going to attach a copy of a preprocessed source as the bug notice suggested. (i'm assuming that the attachment mechanism will become obvious *after* i file the bug report, because i'm sure not finding it now - bogus.) here's the emerge --info report: Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo http://mirrors.acm.cs.rpi.edu/gentoo/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib alsa apache2 apm arts artswrappersuid avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr chroot cli crypt cups dga dlloader dri dvd dvdr eds emacs emboss encode esd evo fam fbcon firefox flash foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imap imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg jython kde lcms ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozcalendar mozdevelop mozsvg mp3 mpeg mule nas ncurses nls nptl nsplugin ogg opengl oss pam pcmcia pcre pda pdflib perl png pnp pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba scanner sdl session spell spl ssl tcl tcpd tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts trusted type1-fonts udev usb vorbis xcomposite xml xmms xorg xosd xv zeo zlib zope elibc_glibc input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_vmmouse input_devices_mouse input_devices_-acecad input_devices_-aiptek input_devices_-calcomp input_devices_-citron input_devices_-digitaledge input_devices_-dmc input_devices_-dynapro input_devices_-elo2300 input_devices_-elographics input_devices_-fpit input_devices_-hyperpen input_devices_-jamstudio input_devices_-joystick input_devices_-magellan input_devices_-magictouch input_devices_-microtouch input_devices_-mutouch input_devices_-palmax input_devices_-penmount input_devices_-spaceorb input_devices_-summa input_devices_-tek4957 input_devices_-ur98 input_devices_-void input_devices_-wacom kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_vmware video_cards_-apm video_cards_-ark video_cards_-chips video_cards_-cirrus video_cards_-cyrix video_cards_-dummy video_cards_-fbdev video_cards_-fglrx video_cards_-glint video_cards_-i128 video_cards_-i740 video_cards_-i810 video_cards_-imstt video_cards_-mach64 video_cards_-mga video_cards_-neomagic video_cards_-nsc video_cards_-nv video_cards_-nvidia video_cards_-r128 video_cards_-radeon video_cards_-rendition video_cards_-s3 video_cards_-s3virge video_cards_-savage video_cards_-siliconmotion video_cards_-sis video_cards_-sisusb video_cards_-tdfx video_cards_-tga video_cards_-trident video_cards_-tseng video_cards_-v4l video_cards_-vesa video_cards_-vga video_cards_-via video_cards_-voodoo" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 94360 [details] preprocessed source that the bug notice suggested to attach "Preprocessed source stored into /var/tmp/portage/openal-0.0.8/temp/ccpM542x.out file, please attach this to your bugreport." all this is to compile blender, which i am therefore considering ditching; i generally use google sketchup, anyway (in the windows personality of this machine)
