Re: [gentoo-user] Building Xorg - internal compiler error: segmentation fault

Hi Not sure if you're talking in general about sig 11 on emerge, some specific problem with Xorg. Anyhow, I had this with various packages and found a few things helped: - Once I had a sig 11 a restart of the emerge would seg fault very soon. I suspected dodgy CPU or memory, so played with the cpuburn package. Curiously I found that running MMXburn (I think it was called) for a minute or so vastly extended how far into a build emerge would get. I have no idea what this program actually does, but I assumed it was heavily loading some memory or other so that when gcc started again it was given a different chumk to what it was getting previously. But that's all very hypothetical... - I used the FEATURES=keepwork emerge... so that the work area was preserved and the emerge could continue from where it was. But this takes up a lot of disk space uless you manually delete them or use ebuild --clean once it's suceeded. - Install ccache to 'dynamically' cache/preserve the guts of whatever you're trying to build so that you don't need keepwork. It's a bit slower, but easier to manage. - Do an emerge in a one line script something like this, so it'll loop around until it succeeds (best used with the FEATURES or ccache idea): while true; do emerge foo break; done HTH IanC -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It happens often (if it happens) for everybody somewhere else and for one person every time at the same line of code. My question was if someone has some experiences with the suggestion at b.g.o. (try a vanilla kernel) It is likely to be the truth. Gentoo heavily patches and patches could introduce a bug too. I had the time to emerge vanilla-sources yesterday and seen, that even that is patched. I'll take a kernel from kernel.org. You did read my initial post, did you?

The log itself says, that it isn't reproducible (means the crash is for everyone in some file and then stable at the same point). b.g.o. isn't accessible right now so I can't send you the output. For me it crashes at sis301_init.c. Well for me it is reproducible. I only need to emerge Xorg :( BTW: The comp is brand new. I built a minimal system (91 packages) My further plans: Build X without all the dri, glx, ... and if this succeeds add features until it crashes again to see which component causes this. If even building plain X fails I'll try a kernel from kernel.org, then maybe other versions of GCC. We'll see Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
