Hi all, I have recently installed Gentoo (from the 2005.1 live disk) on an AMD64 machine. I have been working on it for a number of days now and I have yet to have a succesful compile of xorg (oddly, I was able to get a partial compile that enables me to limp along reasonable well with X). Here is the error message that I get when the compile breaks:
"aborting at /var/tmp/portage/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-rio/work/binutils-2.15.92.0.2/bfd/ elfcode.h line 215 in bfd_elf64_swap_symbol_out" Other observations: - It does not appear to be a USE flag issue as I have tried compiling with no flags - I am using -march=k8 (was using am64 but I believe there is no difference between the two) - compiler options are default (-O2 and -pipe) - I have been getting semi-random page faults (but only on compiles, and only on specific packages, gtk+ and xorg for example) - I have run memtest86+ and prime95 extensively to check for memory errors with no problems - I did the install from the stage1 not stage3 sources as indicated in the Gentoo Handbook - I boot from a SATA drive if that makes any difference (using sata_nv) - The MB in nForce4 Ultra based Any hints, clues, suggestions greatly appreciated.
