lots of weird segfault /ice.. Are you overclocking? If so this could be a show of memorystrain (check the RAM fex.) but if things like mozilla and xfree and so on build, its not likely to be that either. report to bugzilla, thats all the further advice I can offer if the two above return false. //Spider ============================================================ As far as I can recall at the moment, my system is not overclocked. Now, before anyone loses their temper with me on that remark, it has been so blasted long since I have messed with a CPU setting, that I really have no idea what I may have done long ago. I have dual PIII-933s, and on bootup and in dmesg, they register as 933 ... no less, no more. So, I'll have to check my BIOS settings. Spider, I don't follow your suggestion to 'check the RAM fex.' What's 'fex.'? Regarding xfree and Mozilla, I do not have Mozilla on my system. I use Opera for the most part. But xfree is running the latest updated version. It failed to compile once, but upon retrying, I succesfully built it. Now, to add a further oddity to all of this. Right now I'm running 2.6.0-love sources. While running 2.4.23, I successfully emerged everything on the system to ~x86 without any errors. I think I was using -j4 for MAKEOPTS, and everything right through KDE compiled on my system in just about twelve hours. I had no errors at all. After getting 2.6 running--except that my USB is royally screwed up now--I decided to be daring and add 'nptl' to my USE flags and 'emerge -e world.' Without going too much into it, I successfully borked my box beyond recognition and had to reinstall everything. I did not compile a new kernel, but kept my old /boot partition with all my kernels on it. Everything boots just fine. I have re-emerged the proper kernel sources, and even recompiled the kernel and overwrote what was on /boot just to be safe. However, now I cannot succesfully emerge such packages as glibc, gcc, kdelibs, and other nefarious behemoths. The only addition to my system that was absent from the 2.4.23 incarnation is bootsplash and framebuffer. Would these be in the background gobbling up memory or other resources, effecting compilations? Thank you for reading. Send me to Siberia now. Neuros --***-- 'Esse quam videri.'
