Sparc64 (sun4u/Blade100). Gentoo 1.4rc1 ebuild of x11-base/xfree fails due to a compilation (parse) error. Are there other packages that must be installed first? I thought that emerge took care of any dependencies necessary. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Chad

I thought I heard XFree86 4.x doesn't work on UltraSparc machines yet, or something of that nature. I've also got a Blade 100, but it's mainly just a console system that does nothing but eat up electricity.

XFree86 4.x compiles fine and runs superbly.

You'll want to be sure you are emerging a version with David Miller's Sparc PCI Domains, which is included in version 4.2.1.

Code:

bash-2.05a$ X -version

XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 3 September 2002
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.19 sparc64 [ELF]
Module Loader present


Code:

bash-2.05a$ uname -a
Linux sunblade100 2.4.19  sparc64 unknown


Be sure you are installing the correct version, and post perhaps a little more detail regarding your dillemma.
