[gentoo-user] another openoffice build failure

[gentoo-user] another openoffice build failure

[Allan Gottlieb]

This occurred as part of my emerge --emptytree world after upgrading
gcc.  I did not find a bugzilla entry.

Did you run 'emerge --emptytree system' before running 'emerge --emptytree world'?

Yes I did.

I probably should have added that revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild
gcc.  I have let it do so and it still wants to rebuild gcc.  I do not
believe that this explains the ooo problem, but realize that I might
be wrong and should give full information.

Well this looks suspiciously like a hardware problem to me, but it
could also be simply running out of memory.  Can you try:

MAKEOPTS=-j1 emerge --oneshot openoffice

You might also want to add a fan to blow on your laptop while the
build is running... :-)

A cheap way to get more memory:

o wipe a USB key clean (back it up though!)
o mkspwap /dev/sda1 or whereever your usb memory stick is
o swapon all

those commands might not be totally right, but they're a start (it's 
been a while)

Something I've been known to do is leave it in the fridge.  It works, 
and that's all the matters, right?

Just make sure you don't leave it in there too long next to something 
that spoils easily.  I also find it's somehow good for your battery.  I 
left my cell phone in the fridge overnight once and the battery somehow 
found itself capable of carrying more load than before.

If you don't want to risk it, just plug you pc in and remove the battery 
before you put it in the fridge.  You may want to consider bocking off 
fan openings to prevent condensation if you're fridge has a habit of 
nasty condensation.

DO NOT STICK IT IN THE FREEZER!  That has a tendency to shrink the 
hardware and make it brittle.  I also don't want to find out (even 
vicariously) what it'll do to a screen.

I should have thought of -j1, thanks.  It is running now.  Will try
the fan if this fails.  I will also check to see if it dies in the
same place, which would argue against the hardware problem.

thanks again,

It had better be a disposable key, as flash memory is only good for so
many writes before it fails....better (and faster) would be to add a
swap file.

Failed at exactly the same place.  Since each log file is 30,544 lines
long, it doesn't seem likely to be heat related (i.e., I would suspect
that a heat related hardware failure would not be so deterministic as
to fail after so many compiles in the same place).

I am not sure, but it might be that the ebuild forces -j1 by itself

I then though of possibly running out of disk space.  That seemed
unlikely since I had 7.5G and it failed comparatively early in the
run.  But to be sure I ran it again with

   while true; do df -h | grep /mnt/hdc10; sleep 10; done >> /tmp/time

also running and the available space never went below 5.9G.  Once
again it failed at the same place.

So I don't see it as a hardware failure, due to the repeatability.
It is not inadequate disk space.

Well googling wasn't terribly helpful for me, and I couldn't find any
bug report on bugs.gentoo.org.

The program that is failing ("ar") comes from binutils.  Maybe you can
try the 2.17 version of binutils...it's what I built OOo with.

echo "~sys-devel/binutils-2.17 ~x86  >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge --oneshot binutils
binutils-config -l  # make sure it shows 2.17 as selected
emerge --oneshot openoffice

If this doesn't work, reverting gcc versions, or maybe even just merge
openoffice-bin.

I just tried this and the same error

Same story

> or maybe even just merge openoffice-bin.

Well my openoffice emerged before the emerge world that accompanied
the gcc upgrade still works fine so I will continue to use that.  But
I am disquieted by no longer being able to emerge openoffice.  Clearly
something is wrong somewhere.  I guess I will stop pursuing it
actively and wait for some more symptoms.

Thanks for all your efforts.
