 |
|
I've tried installing 1.3b (and 1.3b-r1) several times now and every time I run 'emerge system' it fails with the following error:
| Code: | !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src-compile, Line 8, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/sys-apps/texinfo/texinfo-4.2-r3.ebuild . |
I tried the install method suggested in this post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3685 just for comparison but I still got the exact same error, so I don't think any of my make.conf options are to blame. Here's what I used on my latest try: "-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse -m3dnow -pipe".
Anyone had the same problem or have any guesses as to what the solution might be?
UPDATE: I took a closer look at what was happening when the ebuild ran and I saw a long section of Illegal instruction errors when using rm. I tried to rm a test file I created and got the Illegal instruction error. Is rm broken? |

Hmm, is athlon-tbird the brand new one? or the old thunderbird? Anything before xp doesn have sse or sse2 (whch the fpmath=sse) would tell the compilier to use.
Just a guess. |

| tbird is the old Thunderbird. Thanks for the info on the sse. I think I still had troubles even when I wasn't using that particular set of opts, but just to refresh my memory and double-check I'll try the install again with just the basic i686 -O3 pipe stuff. We'll see. |

I got impatient  and just downloaded the 1.3b stage3 tarball. I unpacked that, did an emerge update world a got gcc and a few other things rebuilt and I seem to be doing OK. |
