[solved] Banshee emerge wanting mono

[sectoid]

Out of 102 packages Banshee depended on in order to install, mono (#95) just hangs there using 99.9% of the CPU and I let it run for over 12 hrs with no status change (on a 2.66GHz celeron x86_64).

There also seems to be an issue with the source extraction:

Does banshee really need mono in order to run?

[shuuhen]

Yep. Banshee is written in C# and .NET, so you'll need a runtime for it. Technically mono's not the only one for Linux, but I'm not sure how Portable.NET works out, or how to tell emerge that's the one you plan to use.

I think emerging mono without CFLAGS works. I have the version you need currently installed and I think I had to do CFLAGS="" emerge mono or something like that. Unfortunately I don't know what config file I'd use to set CFLAGS for specific compiles...

[sectoid]

CFLAGS="" emerge mono hangs at the same spot with process "mono" taking up 99.9% of the cpu...
I'll let it continue to run for a while and maybe it'll do something useful but I don't see why it should be taking so long when everything else completed quickly.

[sectoid]

Turns out I had enabled CONFIG_SYSVIPC (General Setup -> System V IPC) in the kernel but forgot to copy it over to /boot and restart. So most likely if you run into a similar issue during the mono compile where "mono" just sits there and eats 99.9% of the CPU, you're missing the above.
