I actually spent time looking for something by that name... but I see
now you really meant to say perl-cleaner, and the answer is no I did not.

I've had a re-occurence of the same problem and wanted to tell you
even though this is an old thread that re-emerging installing texinfo
seems to have cleared things up... thank you.

I will do that perl-cleaner all  if it re-occurs.

No didn't do that either... but see above what seems to have cleared
it up.  Probably would have been spotted by revdep-rebuild too, I guess.

I don't see a segmentation fault but I don't know how to recognize
that in the massive output.  However, it appears, like one of the
fellows on the bug report discussion says; the process fails to
install nmake. (Which seems like that should curtail the install but
doesn't).  The process tries to carry on without nmake and finally
many lines later fails because of not being able to find nmake.

So sound very similar but I'm not sure about a seg-fault.

[gentoo-user] About "make install all" when kernel building

[Harry Putnam]

I have a newish install I've been running for a while.

Today I added a setting to the kernel and rebuilt.

The final move I made on the kernel move was

  "make install all"

No looking at the /boot/grub/grub.conf all I find is the example file
that comes with install.

If there was old version before calling "make install all" , it has
been removed I guess.

I've created a version from a very old one I had in some very old
backup and wondering if all the options on the kernel line are still
valid. (I do have the VESA ahd vesafb (frame buffer) and mtrr stuff
checked in the kernel config). And "root" is at /dev/hda4

,
| default 0
| timeout 10
| splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
| 
| title Gentoo Linux 4.1.6
| root (hd0,0) 
| kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.6-gentoo root=/dev/hda4 vga=0x31A 
video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap
`

I'm pretty confident of everything but the kernel line.

Before I reboot, find it fails to boot,  and have lots of huffing and
puffing starting up with grub commands or having to go back to an
install .ISO to get insdide, I hoped someone here could tell me if my
grub.conf is likely to work

You *are* doing the right thing. The ebuild logs are supposed to be
uploaded to bugzilla.

The a look at  and see
if it is the same as the symptoms you are seeing.

OK, probably not with a bug report just yet.  I suspect it may be some
of own foolishness at work.  Sooner wait until I get some input.

Ok, mistakenly thought I was doing the right thing by NOT posting the
massive ouput on the group.

Currently waiting out an update of world with ksh removed from world
file.

Once thats completed I will try building the latest version and post
accourdingly.

A man after my own heart.

When a new couple took over my local pub last year, they split the village* 
beer drinkers down the middle by enforcing a no-swearing policy. Now all 
those men who can't say anything without an f*** every other word go to the 
other main pub, leaving the one I use to those who can. Trade has soared, 
and local people have been appearing who were never seen in a pub before. 
Winners all round.

Evdev helps with swapping mice and keyboards. IOW, when using laptops.

And I think it's the 'preferred' way of doing things these days?

Then again, if you're not having problems with mice and keyboards, I don't see 
how evdev will 'solve' a non existent problem.

I thought evdev was the contemporary way of doing things (its in the gentoo
guides), but after a bit of reading it seems more complicated than that.
Ignore my post.

  ?!?! I've never had evdev installed.  Why now?  Mouse and keyboard
work OK.
