Sorry I omitted that. This machine has an i7 running in 64 bit. cat /proc/version Linux version 3.19.1 (root@turingatlarge) (gcc version 4.7.3 (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) ) #1 SMP Sun Mar 15 14:26:53 EST 2015 I was hoping this was a minor issue that was just previously unreported so I got a little lazy. > currently have instructions for how to build on Gentoo, unfortunately. > LinuxCNC currently targets/supports Debian and Debian-derived > distributions like Ubuntu.

If you get your Gentoo build to work, I'd welcome an > ebuild file and/or documentation. I am trying to fix issues in gEDA PCB. The project has been stalled for some time so they have piled up. Normally I would write a patch for your but right now I have my own unhappy user to contend with. I will however do everything I can to break down where this is going wrong and document it. An ebuild would be nice but so many things are required for real time to work so any ebuild would really have to be for simulation only. Doing that would lead to a flood of users requesting expansion to full functionality. > You're right that src/configure is supposed to identify missing build > dependencies.
