Re: [gentoo-user] troubles with emerge --sync
So I managed to fix the other wonkiness on my system (viz, gcc and emacs not emerging). Turns out, I had been sloppy in putting together my make.conf and used march=prescott when I should have been using march=pentium4. Fixed it, ran emerge -uDNe world. Things emerge now. Really late post on this, but an emphasis on march settings is warranted. This will totally bungle all kinds of compiling. If you keep around things like gcc-3 for rainy days, you'll also find that some newer march optimizations are not defined in older gcc versions, and this will make you all confused why nothing will compile with your hardened compiler (which, incidentally, has g77). I have three march items commented out (with comments on what each one is) in my make.conf so at least I think about it if I'm trouble shooting. I got thrown off the other day setting up a newer machine with the same kind of problem (it needed old code and gcc3...grrr). Regards, daid

Turns out, I had been sloppy in putting together my make.conf and used march=prescott when I should have been using march=pentium4. Fixed it, ran emerge -uDNe world. Things emerge now. Unfortunately, the original problem with emerge --sync has not been resolved: rsync error: sibling process crashed (code 15) at main.c(1505) [generator=3.0.6] Retrying... and from dmesg: grsec: signal 4 sent to /usr/bin/rsync[rsync:32164] uid/euid:0/0 gid/ egid:0/0, parent /usr/bin/rsync[rsync:32163] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0 Still getting this error. I took a look at the core dump using gdb: (no debugging symbols found) Core was generated by `rsync --recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --who'. Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction. Use my mirror and see if things are better. Alan, thanks for letting me try this. Unfortunately, same result. I actually set up my own as well. All the other boxen in the rack are able to sync to it, but not this one. I've tried re-emerging portage and rsync to no avail. I'm running out of ideas... Alexander Clark

I'm posting here as it has to do with rsync so the question: How do I set up rsync on the IS mirror I tried to edit the make.conf by just adding the IS url to the rsync option and # out the other rsync server I had set up but emerge --rsync just told me that name could not be contacted my only option now is web-rsync but I'd rather use --rsync (also I'm capped on Intl so Local only bandwith here).

Maybe I ended up on the ban list. What I really need to do is set up a local mirror since I've got a rack full of Gentoo servers. In any case, emerge-webrsync works for now (thanks Marcus, not sure why I didn't think of that). It seems there are some deeper issues, however, as gcc and emacs are failing to emerge. Signal 4 again with emacs. Hm. Think I might try scaling back my CFLAGS. Alexander Clark
