segfaulting on every emerge

Post #1 of 5 (270 views)

Hi -

My system (see emerge info below) seems to be segfaulting on every
emerge. Whenever I try to manually compile _anything_ with make, it
immediately dies with "Segmentation fault" and no other errors.

Here is the error message I get when trying to "emerge sys-apps/man":

/usr/lib/portage/bin/emake: line 14: 25011 Segmentation fault make ${MAKEOPTS} ${EXTRA_EMAKE} "$@"

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/man-1.5m-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 95, Exitcode 139
!!! emake failed

Help?

Hi

It seems that you have a hardware problem.I had this problem too while
my firt installation of Gentoo. I suggest you to run memtest86 included
in your LiveCD. By the Way, are your CPU and Memory Overclocked, If so,
you should use the defaults settings of your BIOS

Cheers

[root@orthanc ~]# emerge --version

Haven't modified emerge at all. The strange thing is that on a P4
system I'm running the following with no problems:

[root@isengard ~]# emerge --version
Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1, 2.6.8)

I don't think there is a hardware problem because the issue is so
reproduceable, but perhaps I should run a memory tester or something.

Going to need a lot more info on this one. But just for the heck of it, are you running portage-2.0.51_rc9? Have you modified emerge at all? I had the same thing recently because of that (psyco, specifically.)

Never hurts with segfault issues. There's memtest86 on the liveCDs and in portage - I've found a few bad RAM sticks with it that I thought were fine.
