The point is that you now have (at least) two versions of libstdc++.so.6 because each version of gcc installs its own version of libstdc++. Somehow the xulrunner build is trying to use both versions of libstdc++.so.6 (I don't know why, but it probably involves .la files, as usual) so I suggest that you switch to the new gcc-4.4.3 (or 4.4.4) like this: #gcc-config --list-profiles [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.3 *- (I'm already using the newer version) #gcc-config 1 * Switching native-compiler to i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4 ... #gcc-config 2 * Switching native-compiler to i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.3 ...

[...] Anyhow, I have 8 gigs of ram on the sytem (will obviously be 64-bit Gentoo) and I want to know how much swap I need. The general rule of thumb is twice the ram. In this case, it would be 16 gigs. I think that it may not need swap when up, unless I do some heavy duty stuff. My main concern about a swap partition is how much I need for hibernate-to-disk to work. Is there a rule about this, or should I simply allocate 16 gigs out of my terabyte drive, and play it safe? It of course depends on your usage profile. I have a laptop with 3 Gigs of RAM without swap. I don’t do really fancy stuff on them. Noteworthy things: Blender, X-Plane (flight sim), Hugin, some small VMs and of course the occasional compiling. Mostly, I do only one of those at one time. I even have set up a ramdisk in /var/tmp/portage for emerge. Except for kdelibs its 1.5 Gigs are more than enough.

[gentoo-user] xorg segfaults if I have an encrypted volume mounted
xorg started segfaulting here on startup, at the point where it should detect input devices: [ 1198.330] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer [ 1198.330] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_INTEL_swap_event [ 1198.330] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_make_current_read [ 1198.330] (II) AIGLX: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap backed by buffer objects [ 1198.330] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so [ 1198.330] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0 [ 1198.331] (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 507 x 317 [ 1198.437] Backtrace: [ 1198.437] 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x38) [0x80ae1c8] [ 1198.437] 1: /lib/libudev.so.0 (0xb782b000+0x33d2) [0xb782e3d2] [ 1198.437] Segmentation fault at address 0x7974702f [ 1198.437] Fatal server error: [ 1198.437] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting For reference, here's the same location in a good start: [ 2832.766] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer [ 2832.766] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_INTEL_swap_event [ 2832.766] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_make_current_read [ 2832.766] (II) AIGLX: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap backed by buffer objects [ 2832.766] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so [ 2832.766] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0 [ 2832.767] (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 507 x 317 [ 2832.906] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Video Bus (/dev/input/event8) [ 2832.906] (**) Video Bus: Applying InputClass evdev keyboard catchall [ 2832.906] (**) Video Bus: Applying InputClass Keyboard-all [ 2832.906] (II) LoadModule: evdev [ 2832.906] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [ 2832.906] (II) Module evdev: vendor=X.Org Foundation [ 2832.906]compiled for 1.8.1.901, module version = 2.3.2 [ 2832.907]Module class: X.Org XInput Driver [ 2832.907]ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 9.0 So it's segfaulting in libudev. And where it's getting weird is that it only segfaults if I have one particular encrypted container mapped. The container is a file mapped to /dev/loop0, opened with cryptsetup luksOpen as /dev/mapper/crypt-morpheus.athome. If I luksClose it (but keep /dev/loop0), xorg starts normally. Strangely, there is another encrypted container /dev/mapper/crypt-swap mapped to my swap partition, but that one doesn't seem to interfere. This symptom has only started today, and I haven't updated anything udev- or xorg-related. However, I reboot rarely, and I did reboot today, so it may be due to an earlier update. Some version info: xorg-server-1.8.1.901 xf86-input-evdev-2.3.2 udev-149 gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 Has anyone seen anything similar? Any idea how I could either work around the issue or debug it? I have tried strace but couldn't extract any meaningful information. -- Remy signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] gcc build fails during emerge system on new 64-bit install

But after the first build, I forgot to gcc-config over to 4.4.3-r2 ... dohhh. Anyhow, after switching over, rebuilding gcc-4.4.3-r2, exiting, logging back in, unmerging gcc-4.3.4, and rebuilding glibc, I successfully emerged system and world. I'm now emerging xorg-x11.

Then you don't have to log out and back in again. One could argue that one is easier than the other tho. ;-) Depends on the length of the password I guess. Dale :-) :-)
