What are your CFLAGS?

sorry about the cross post i figured i must of posted in the wrong forum as i had no replies for a few days or so and thought i might as well post in a different one anyway sorry again
anyway no go on that i have a mobile AMD Athlon XP 2200+ CPU and have tried the following
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -03 -pipe"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon -03 -pipe"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686"
open to suggestions on this i have had redhat on this thing as well as slack over the last week or so but want a source based like i had on my previous laptop |

ghostscript-7.05.5 is the current version in portage.
Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ghostscript
|
will attempt to emerge the testing version: ghostscript-7.05.6, which is probably worth a shot. |

try w/ -O@ or -O1. -O3 can cause trouble. Merge a differnt version of ghostscript individually. they the unstable version. That often fixes problems. _________________ Aim:gsfgf0 |

If you are still having difficulties, you could try running the emerge with strace (you will need to emerge strace if you don't have it). Redirect the output to a file - it might give us some hints about where exactly the problem is occuring.
A search on strace in these forums should give some examples of usage. |

Good News
i just got past the point where it used to crash for anyone else having this problem it must of been one of 3 things i can say what i'm afraid as i reinstalled gentoo anyway it was either installing the whole system with
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -01 -pipe"
or
i installed a bios update
or
i installed ghostscript (and the dependencies it pulls in) before i tried to install gnome although i do have gnome in my use flags
anyway should this ever turn up again i hope this helps
PS thanx for the help from these forums |
