Am I > correct? In my case memtest didn't find any errors after a night of running either, but when I'd boot Gentoo the errors would occur more frequently the longer I was running or the more packages I had compiled. I think the version of memtest I was running didn't take into account error corrections, so for memtest every test succeeded even though the memory had to use error corrections to make sure everything was read/written properly. > If it was just these error-messages I would not be that worried, but I > have started to get a lot of "hangers" on this rig when compiling larger > packages. Could there be a relation to the error-messages? What I'd try to do is find the DIMM that's causing these errors and see how your machine runs without it installed. I used EDAC [0] and edac-utils [1] to find my faulty DIMMs. - Boy [0] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/edac.txt [1] https://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-apps/edac-utils 0x729527E4.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Seems like the versions are incompatible with each other. Do you have anything X related masked/unmasked or key worded? You can also try unmerging them both and then emerging xorg-server and let portage handle the dependencies. If this is a first install you should emerge x11-base/xorg-x11. I made the mistake of just emerging the X server once, and that doesn't work. Maybe run revdep-rebuild two times to be sure everything is in order.

Yes, since you have given it the name of an ebuild, not a file. You can do what you want by "equery files [packagename]"
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Xorg-server fails to compile
Just unmerge libXext and xextproto and then emerge them again. It looks like some files have been moved from one to the other.
