make error during bootstrap.sh

[Tijl]

Hi,

yesterday I decided to try gentoo on my (old) pentium 200Mhz, but after 8 hours of compiling make stopt while he was compiling the gcc for the second time. Unfortunatly I don't have the command that caused the error, all I have is the usual 'Leaving directory' message.

Yesterday evening I restarted bootstrap.sh. The last thing I saw he was doing before I slept was the compilation of glibc. But when I woke up this morning, make stopt again: this time during the compilation of binutils. (I pasted the complete error below)

Does anyone know what went wrong and how I can fix this??

Thanks,
Tijl

I have a P200 MMX and am having the same problem. I have 64MB of ram and 512MB swap space.

I've also had problems with gentoo before on older machines, like a P75 with 16MB of ram.

Orginally I installed gentoo using another faster machine and then just swapped the HD to the P200. It seemed to work for a while but when trying to get Apache, PHP and MySQL running I was seeing an Illegal Instruction Error in my Apache logs. I decided to try to re-install on the P200 itself and now no dice.

I restarted bootstrap.sh (for the third time) and now the problem seems to be solved.

Did you do anything differently on the third try ?

I've had the same problem on a few builds I've done the past two days - all on 64 meg machines. Running emerges multiple times eventually clears the problem with no other changes on my part. Not sure what's up, unless there's been a recent change in the portage tree which causes some errors on low memory machines.

In the man pages for mktemp() and mkstemp() the reason for the warning is appearant. mktemp doesn't create a file, just another filename, allowing (potentially) someone else to create the file and cuase a 'race' type situations, where things might work or not depending on the timing. mkstemp() actually makes the file itself, eliminating this problem.
Perhaps the issue with slower machines is this race condition? that would explain 'randomness' in the symptom.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Gentoo on a Athlon 1GHz with 224 MB of RAM and a big Swap of 1,5 GB.
