When I try to emerge memtest86 I get this.
Code:
chandegra root # emerge memtest86
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge sys-apps/memtest86-3.0 to /
>>> md5 ;-) memtest86-3.0.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking memtest86-3.0.tar.gz
>>> Source unpacked.
gcc -E -traditional head.S -o head.s

gcc -c -Wall -march=i486 -O -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-builtin -fPIC main.c
gcc -c -Wall -march=i486 -O -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-builtin test.c
test.c:12: conflicting types for `v'
test.h:280: previous declaration of `v'
make: *** [test.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 1, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

!!! emerge aborting on  /usr/portage/sys-apps/memtest86/memtest86-3.0.ebuild .


Anybody know what's going wrong?

Thanks.

Well quite plainly this is a problem with the ebuild. The compiler is complaining that in the code 'v' is declared twice and the two declarations are even of different types (meaning one could be an int while another is a char). One reference is in test.c line twelve and the other is test.h line two hundred eighty. This would appear (to me) to be a problem with the source code not really with the ebuild, but the ebuild should have tested this. It is possible the source has been changed and the ebuild needs updating.

No matter, a bug report should be filed-- please do so here. Also please post a reply to this thread with your bug report number so that others can easily find and reference it.

I never did get 3.0 to run on my system, I have to use 2.9. 3.0 just displays "Memtest86" and locks up. :?

Probably I have the same problem like xorbe.
I downloaded memtest86-3.0 and patched it.
After that I compiled it without errors.
But after rebooting into the memtest kernel it just displayed memtest86 and nothing happened.
Anybody knows a solution ?

Or how can I use memtestx86-2.9 ?
Can't find this older version :(
