Great. Thanks. Looks like I'll have to give it a try. Even turning on userlocales it still failed on to build for device space: dragonfly glibc-2.3.5 # emerge -pv glibc These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5 -build -debug -erandom -hardened (-multilib) +nls +nptl +nptlonly -pic (-selinux) +userlocales* 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB dragonfly glibc-2.3.5 # dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/locales.build # This file names the list of locales to be built when glibc is installed. # The format is <locale>/<charmap>, where <locale> is a locale from the # /usr/share/i18n/locales directory, and <charmap> is name of one of the files # in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. All blank lines and lines starting with # are # ignored. Here is an example: # en_US/ISO-8859-1 en_US/ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 dragonfly ~ # Looks like that wasn't enough space reduction. I don't think every machine of mine has it's own /var partition so probably there was always enough space under /. I created /var on this machine since it's a MythTV server which has saved me because when MythTV storage runs out MythTV fills the log file with millions of the same message. Another solution I tried and which did work was to create a directory on my root partition and do a mount --bind while doing the glibc emerge. The emerge finished cleanly and then I dismounted the temp storage to get back to normal. Multiple solutions I think. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
