I fixed this compile problem by disabling the 'zlib' USE flag for pciutils.


echo "sys-apps/pciutils -zlib" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge --resume

it becomes obvious why users might want g77 still. Last I checked, there were enough errors in the GNU Fortran 95 that many users stuck with Fortran 77.

Is it now impossible to get back to GNU Fortran 77, or is there a trick to make both g77 AND g95 compile?
Blimey

Agreed. I wasn't able to ...

I had the same problem awhile ago. I whipped up this little script to respawn it. Enjoy!

I reccomend 'ter-v14n', found in the font-terminus package. if you like it, replace "default8x16" in rc.conf with "ter-v14n".

I've got around similar problems by using symlinks.

add before the emerge command that produced the output you posted. Assuming you are on an x86 machine, of course. Don't use that too much if you want a stable system

what about tweaking the second method? Instead of using OO to convert html 2 txt then txt 2 latex, use html2latex.

I noticed in the crossover site that errors related to registering rpcrt4.dll can be traced to a kernel config: They say it applies to SuSe, but a kernel is a kernel. Supposedly you should set your user address space to 3GB.

If I have 2 PC's with similar specs, will there be any increase in compile times if I use distcc?
No, there should be a decrease in the compile times (on average).

if distcc uses the remote machine to compile, is there any point using just a master and a slave if the master is ~ same spec as the ...

Dudes,
I did the install from stage 3, w/ GRP ; using the 'new' 2004.1
Same error on both koffice and kdevelop - about the only k's I had to install from source.
I didn't change the CHOST, either.

lurid,

just tried the binary ebuild as described in your README. (adjusted make.conf and all)

but this was the output i got. it looks like i started compiling anyway... and that didn't work out

check out the bootsplash threads and ebuilds ... it can be done smoothly on most x86 systems last I checked.
