I finally needed to upgrade to FF 60.2.2 . This has several large requirements, incl Rust 1.29.1 .
The 1st time I tried, Rust failed after 35 min with these final lines : Compiling rustc-rayon v0.1.1 Compiling rustc_data_structures v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/librustc_data_structures) Compiling arena v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libarena) Compiling syntax_pos v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libsyntax_pos) Compiling rustc_errors v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/librustc_errors) Compiling proc_macro v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libproc_macro) Compiling syntax_ext v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libsyntax_ext) error: linking with `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc` failed: exit code: 1 | = note: "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" "-Wl,--as-needed" "-Wl,-z,noexecstack" "-m64" "-L" "/var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/lib64/rust\ ... This looked like a missing library or similar, so I recompiled with extra flags USE="cargo clang rust gold" : "cargo clang rust" refer to other pkgs which FF requires & "gold" was then demanded by Portage when I tested with '-pv'. The 2nd time I tried with these USE flags, I got : Compiling rustc_data_structures v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/librustc_data_structures) Compiling arena v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libarena) Compiling syntax_pos v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libsyntax_pos) Compiling rustc_errors v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/librustc_errors) Compiling proc_macro v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libproc_macro) Compiling syntax_ext v0.0.0 (file:///var/tmp/portage/portage/dev-lang/rust-1.29.1/work/rustc-1.29.1-src/src/libsyntax_ext) LLVM ERROR: IO failure on output stream: No space left on device error: Could not compile `rustc`.

Earlier, I found I had to add 'llvm' to /etc/portage/package.env : apparently it overflowed my usual /var/tmp/portage 'tmpfs'. I will try again after adding 'rust' there too, but meanwhile does anyone have any similar experience or other advice ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
