The whole output of the qt compilation can be found in the given URL. As you can see in my 'emerge info' below, I have a Via C3 Nehemiah cpu. maybe gcc has some problems with it? Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'emerge qt' again Actual Results: It still compiles and got definitely farther than in the first try. If it breaks again later in this try, I'll add a comment. Expected Results: Well, it's doing, what it should NOW. ;) Portage 2.0.51-r8 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.10-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r2 i686 VIA Nehemiah Gentoo Base System version 1.6.8 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Jan 5 2005, 21:50:20)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.8.5-r2, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.4_p6, 1.9.3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-pipe -Os -mtune=c3-2 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -Os -mtune=c3-2 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://194.117.143.71 http://194.117.143.70 ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://194.117.143.69" LDFLAGS="" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac aalib acpi alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bzlib calendar caps cdb cdparanoia cdr cle266 codecs cpdflib crypt cups curl dba dedicated directfb divx4linux djbfft dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread edl encode ethereal evo fam fastcgi fbcon fftw flac flash ftp gd gdbm gif gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk gtk2 iconv icq imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jack java joystick jpeg kde kdexdeltas ladcca lcms libcaca libwww lirc live lm_sensors lzo mad maildir mailwrapper makecheck mcal memlimit mikmod mime ming mmx mng mozilla mpeg mysql mythtv nas ncurses nls nocd nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl oscar oss pam pcre pda pdflib perl php png pnp portaudio pwdb python qt quicktime readline real recode rrdtool rtc samba sdl session sharedmem slang slp sndfile snmp soap sockets sox speex spell spl sqlite sse ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tetex tga theora tidy tiff transcode truetype unicode usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vhosts videos vim wmf wxwindows xanim xine xinerama xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xosd xpm xprint xsl xv xvid xvmc zlib"
If the failure does not happen a second time at the same place, it means that your hardware is at fault: the cpu could be overheated or faulty, there can be bad RAM... nothing we can do about it.
ok, thanks anyway. i guess, i wouldn't have reported it, if portage didn't tell me to do so. ;)
