i think it's happening when it's compiling glibc? though i'm not 100% sure

What messages do you get just before that one? Do you see an error message from gcc?

appologies for taking so long to reply, i attempted a stage one install again hoping to get it to work (which it didn't) same error message...

this is a more detailed account of what it is saying...

Take a look at your /etc/make.conf file and let us know what the CFLAGS= and USE= settings are.

I hope your formatting is just a typo. It should be:

it's more i can't read my own hand writing properly!

all i did was remove the comments for the relevent CHOST and CFLAG lines

have just tried to do a stage one again, and the same error message is appearing.

the disk i am using has worked 3 times on exactly the same system so i'm at a loss

Don't try another install until you can emerge glibc successfully. There is no point really. Is it possible you are running out of disk space? If you just do 'emerge glibc' how far does it get and what error does it post? If it compiles for a time before it fails I suspect it may be running out of space?

My Stage 1 also bombed out right here, with only "i686" set. Then when trying to get rid of -r9 and use -r3 instead, the compile for gcc itself would fail.

/etc/make.conf had this:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe"
The above with -march=i686 was no different.

The only way I could get around it was to do an emerge -u for gcc and then install dependency programs one-by-one while avoiding all glibc-2.3.2 stuff completely.

Then, after getting gcc compiled, I set "-x86" in the glibc-2.3.2-r9.ebuild file so that -r3 would get used instead; even at this point, -r9 would fail to compile. I then did the emerge -U system (had gcc-3.3.2-r6 instead of the -r5 that Gentoo wanted), finished the installation, and later updated to -r9 for glibc. Everything seemed to smooth out.

There are undoubtedly much much better ways, but I'm still a Gentoo newbie.

ok.... deep breaths here

I have solved this problem with a very obvious and easy soloution...

i feel a proper berk but it seems that the live disk i used is a little old, by downloading the lastest disk the installation went perfectly, i am now typing this reply in fluxbox, running 2.6.3-mm1 kernel waiting for kde to finish compiling (sometime tomorrow afternoon i recon)

:oops:
