Packages like gcc and glibc will probably just not compile with so little RAM[1], and there is no way on a Gentoo machine to avoid compiling those. You have several options: - use something else, not Gentoo - Buy more RAM from the virtual machine provider - build on another machine and emerge the binary packages. The first is the one with the least pain. [1] I have regular 32bit x86 VMs in my test lab that struggle to properly compile big packages with 256M and sometimes even 512M is not enough - gcc is the usual culprit. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
