[gentoo-user] New user: can't emerge Gimp.
I've just started my first Gentoo build and am very impressed. However, I get the following when trying to emerge Gimp. I don't want to trouble the debugging team with what's probably my own inexperience. Can anyone suggest what should be the next step?

[gentoo-user] Re: New user: can't emerge Gimp still stuck.
Thanks very much for your help, guys: Looks like you just need to remerge python (emerge --oneshot python) I remerged python, then again emerged Gimp. The build went smoothly for while, but quit after some time with a series of error messages that said to submit a full bug report. I've just started to use Mrxvt and don't know how to cut and paste from the terminal screen, so I took a screenshot and posted it to my website: http://www.tekproject.com/linux/gentoo/gimp.gif Could I ask you to take a look at this and decide what it might mean? Thanks again, Carl Adams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Re: New user: all good.
Thanks again for your help, guys: Just highlight the text you want to copy, then click the middle mouse button in the window you want to paste. Unix-style copy-and-paste :) Aha! Used to know that. Thanks. As it is written, it is probably a faulty hardware problem. Try re-emerging. If it dies again *randomly* (i.e. by segfaulting in another location), 99% it's a faulty RAM/processor problem. Quite right. Redid the job and it came through clean. Very hot weather here - may have upset the box, since it's been v reliable so far. Carl Adams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
