OK I have set up my server for rsync so we can get the portage tree and any distfiles (ie sources) locally for the fest. I followed the howto pointed out by someone yesterday.
I also set up distcc, but cannot get it to work. I have set up on the client machine the following entries in /etc/make.conf: DISTCC_HOSTS="192.168.2.3" FEATURES="ccache distcc" MAKEOPTS="-j3" when I run an emerge I get lines like this: distcc[28081] (dcc_connect_by_addr) ERROR: failed to connect to 192.168.0.1:3632: Connection timed out distcc[28081] (dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to distribute, running locally instead Well I'm not surprised it cannot connect to 192.168.0.1, as there is no such macine. I asked it to go to 192.168.2.3 but it doesn't. it also tries to connect to 192.168.0.2, again unsuccessfully. any ideas?? --
