X11 fails to compile


Hi,

Following a disk crash, I am currently installing Gentoo on my new disk.
I started from the 2004.1 LiveCD and I did an emerge sync.

I get compilation error for xorg-x11.
It says something like: "make: [X_cursor] Segmentation fault".
(sorry don't know how to copy/paste from console...)

I am currently using the stable version of most software.

I tried with both -O3 and -O2.

I also got this error before on my old disk while attempting to upgrade.

My emerge info is below.

Thanks,
David

Re: X11 fails to compile

put -fno-strict-aliasing in your CFLAGS. That is needed for gcc-3.3.3.

Best regards,

Re: X11 fails to compile


Hi,

I added the -fno-strict-aliasing to my CFLAGS but I still have the same
problem...  I downgrade to gcc-3.2 and I still have the same problem.
Any other suggestion?

I had to re-emerge libpng to get xorg-x11 to build!

Hope that helps,
Daniel

Re: X11 fails to compile


Hi,

Since X11 takes time to time compile, I cheated and installed the
precompiled binary... :(  I will try some other time.

I had some difficulty with gtk.  I re-emerge libpng and added the
-fno-strict-aliasing and it worked out!

Thanks for the help,
David

ghostscript segfault...


Hi,

gv/xdvi do not work with postscript files...

Simply running gs and it segfaults:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x100b4d24 in gs_gc_reclaim ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x100b4d24 in gs_gc_reclaim ()
#1  0x1011008c in gs_image2_t_init ()
#2  0x10089198 in array_indexed_param_list_read ()
#3  0x1008507c in gs_interpret ()
#4  0x1007904c in gs_push_boolean ()
#5  0x1007ac9c in gs_main_init2 ()
#6  0x1007d330 in gs_main_init_with_args ()
#7  0x1002844c in main ()
(gdb)

I tried recompiling ghostscript a few time with different CFLAGS (-O2
and -fno-strict-aliasing) with the stable gcc 3.3 as well as gcc 3.4 without
success.  With gcc-3.4 it segfaults in some other function.

I run Gentoo on my x86 box, testing ~x86 version without any problem.
Is Gentoo more unstable on ppc or I am doing something wrong?  Any
suggestion on how to get it stable on my ppc would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help,
David

I've noticed, too. :-/ Newer ghostscripts do not seem to work on my ppc         
and this breaks just about everything (only xpdf works). See Gentoo             
Bugzilla:

I downgraded to ghostscript-7.05.6-r4, which works ok. You can get an           
an ebuild from gentoo cvs:

Thanks for your help!

The older version works well.

G5 & missing performance


 I've noticed that there is no /proc/cpufreq anymore 
 (this is 2.6.7-rc2), so how do I suppose to give a command: 
    echo "x:yyyy:zzzz:performance" > /proc/cpufreq

 ???

 It is obvious that about 25-35% performance is missing;
 it is possible to gain this back if I boot by mac-boot & livecd,
 but I want to boot from /dev/sda now with full performance...

Re: [gentoo-ppc-dev] G5 & missing performance

is /proc/cpufreq useable on a G5?

The only thing I see on a G5 is /proc/cpuinfo, which displays:
