 Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 6:26 am Post subject: ghostscript-7.07.1-r8 hangs on emerge |
 |
|
When I try to upgrade to this latest version of ghostscript my computer repeatedly hangs at the following line:
| Code: | | ./obj/genarch ./obj/arch.h |
I have been thoroughly googling and searching the forums and it appears that numerous other people are having this exact same problem where their machine hangs/reboots on this line. One post suggested disabling ccache and noapic, but that has had no effect. Other workarounds have been to emerge the binary package of ghostscript-7.07.1-r7, however I would like to upgrade my kde and it is requiring an update to the -r8 version of ghostscript (is there a way around this perhaps?).
I don't believe this to be any overheating/memory problems, since there are a variety of people seeing this, on a variety of different motherboards.
Has anyone out there managed to work around this issue?

Ghostscript 7.07 blew up my hylafax server ... I had to switch back to 7.05 ...
Just to let you know

As a workaround i used ghostscript-afpl. All is working fine now, but i had to do manually a:
| Code: | | cp /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-afpl-8.15/work/ghostscript-8.15/ijs/libijs.a /usr/lib |
to avoid linking-errors against other programs.

mh .. seems to be a hardware problem (chipset?)
we all have the Asus A8N-SLI - perhaps we should tell the ghostscript-developers about it!? - if it isn't a compiler problem..
anyway i'll try your workaround. might linking the lib to /usr/lib (/usr/lib64/ ?) not a better idea?

This must be a compiler problem/incompatibility. BTW there is another candidate that generates this crash-problem:
libquicktime(-0.9.6-r1)

what? linking to a file at a temporary place?

ok then we should tell .. gcc-team?
i didn't have to link it, because /usr/lib64/libijs.a were created regulary!

It should be a hardware problem. I did have a crash when emerging libquicktime, always on the same spot (compiling cmodel_default.c resulted in a crash). It turns out I had a hard-to-catch memory problem (related to an overclock). I upped VDIMM a little bit, and the problem went away.

I must admit I did indeed suffer from this problem, as detailed in a different topic in the same forum. That was on an NForce3 motherboard. There were definately no memory problems on that board, I had memtest86 run for a good couple of days without a problem.
That machine now has Windows XP installed on it, and is running fine.
The linux machine has been changed to an NForce4 Ultra (not SLI) board, with a 4200+ dual core processor, with the exact same hard drives as was on the old motherboard. Apart from a recompile of the kernel for SMP support, nothing apart from the motherboard and the graphics card had changed, an ghostscript compiled perfectly, as did libquicktime.
I have now changed the memory in this machine for 4x512mb and again I can still compile ghostscript and libquicktime.
I don't know what the code does that resets the machine when you try to emerge ghostscript, but from my point of view, where I have had 3 different motherboards, a VIA k8t800 pro, an NForce3 and an NForce4, the only system I couldn't compile ghostcript on was the NForce3 one.

I have tested the overclock setup with memtest and Prime95, both run overnight and detected no problems. But these are not 64 bit apps, they don't put a lot of stress in the memory/chipset. Also, Windows XP is 32 bits (I never had problems with that thingy, either).
Going to amd64 gentoo, libquicktime and a couple more apps would only emerge with stock settings (processor @ 1800MHz and mem @ 400 MHz), although this is clearly below the possibilities of this hardware. With the overclocked settings, it would always crash when compiling cmodel_default.c. But, after raising the DRAM voltage from 2.6V to 2.8V the problem went away. It also goes away if I (instead of raising the DRAM voltage) lower the DRAM timings a little bit.
Anyway, I've noticed that cmodel_default.c takes a long time to compile. I think it goes on a long loop, or it calls some function recursively a lot of times. This puts a lot of stress in the memory bus, so it may detect an obscure problem with some hardware setups which passes undetected in a 32 bit environment. I would suggest you try to lower the DRAM timings a little bit (unlike raising voltages, it is safe) and see if the problem goes away.

Well, I've heard that some combinations of Athlon 64 cores and nforce chips can have problems with some memory configurations.
I am really curious about that NF3 machine of yours. Just to be sure that your memory subsystem is not playing any tricks here, you could put your memory on a divider (say DRAM/FSB ratio of 1/2 -- it will lower memory to half speed). I don't know how is it called in your mobo, but your BIOS should have a setting for this.
At this speed, the memory subsystem will perform flawlessly. Then boot to amd64 and try to compile ghostscript, to see what happens.

Hmmm, a bit late for that now... but it does sound like a good experiment. There were other people with the exact same setup as mine around in the original thread who were having the same problem....

Is this ever actually going to get fixed? I'd like to do an emerge --newuse -Du world but I can't because of Ghostscript (I installed a binary package of it to work around it initially). This is infuriating at best. Why would it just hard-reset my PC when it reaches the arch.h stage?
For the record this machine is also an nForce 3 board. |

I have the same problem with my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, Amd64 3500+, 1GB Corsair memory, Leadtek 6600GT Extreme PCI-E (although this shouldn't matter ^^) for about 9 months now. I simply chose ghostscript-afpl and it works fine.
A friend with the same Asus board but an Amd64 X2 4400+ got the package compiled 15 minutes ago so I tried it again (just because it interests me)... with the same result... my machine completely hangs at the same line as on laffinboy's computer. This can not be any OC related failure...
The only differences I can see are
-I made a stage 1 on 3 installation, my friend a stage 1...
-He should have a slightly newer Bios (I've updated one or two months ago)
Is there any other solution or should I give it a try with the latest Bios? ^^ |

Hang on a minute... you are on a single-core processor, and he is on a dual-core processor on the exact same model of motherboard? And the dual-core compiles ok? If anything was going to go wrong, I'd of put money onto the dual-core going tits-up (for non-British, wrong).
I know what you mean about the frustration though. I had a real nightmare with this... and at the time, the -afpl put it's libraries in the wrong place, so was effectively useless.
I know the error exists on the Nforce3 board, but once I'd change to an Nforce4(-ultra) board, with dual core, I had no problems.
Surely there must be a very simple fix?
Rob.

The only interesting hardware differences should be that he has:
-the newer dualcore X2 processor
-cheaper Corsair Memory (3200C2 instead of 3200XL series)
-a newer Bios
Ok, I'll give it a try with the latest Bios... hopefully bb in sime minutes (suxs that you can only flash the bios from Windows...) ^^ |

Gentoo on AMD64
