To recap, I'm using:
- Dell Dimension 8100, circa Jan 2001.
- 512 MB RAM, two IDE drives
- Had Red Hat 9 installed and running clean for several
months. FreeBSD also installs and runs clean.
- Instructions followed to the letter!
Ok, for compile attempt number three...
Did the above and also made sure my CPU was defined as i686 in
make.conf, and tried a stage1 compile. It died in the same place as
it has the other times: glibc. The compile goes for an hour or
two, and then abruptly stops. The last line I see on the screen
is:
make[2]: leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.2-r3/work/glibc-2.3.2/stdlib`
make -j2 -C stdio-common subdir-lib
And there it sits, frozen. Is there any additional debug
information I can provide?
Any assistance from the community would be most welcome!
