Have I just gotten lucky all these years? I attempted to emerge a new glibc this morning and I cannot because it completely fills my 2.7GB /var partition in the process and I end with a 'no space on device' message! Obviously the emerge doesn't finish and I'm left to clean up and ponder the meaning of such things. Prior to starting the emerge the partition is about 30% full so it appears that the build takes something like 2GB? Can this really be true? What can I do to get around this? Should this build really take this much space or is there possibly a bug here somewhere? dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv glibc These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

What would I change to temporarily move the elsewhere if indeed there is no bug. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
