gcc freezes under emerge

#1 (**permalink**) 02-21-2008, 11:10 AM

Hello,

I have a problem, I can't compile gcc with emerge/portage anymore.
Because after this script
========================================
Updating boehm-gc/config.guess [
ok ]
========================================
emerge freezes and won't go on.

Could someone tell me how I could reinstall gcc, without freezing?

Thank you,

Noud Aldenhoven

I had an issue like this. It could reproduce it by logging in as myself
(normal user, wheel group).

I would switch user to root in konsole by typing:

su

and do

emerge package

and it would hang at certain spots.

If I would switch user by typing

su -

and then emerged the package it all worked fine. I can't remember what
I found was causing this, but I did correct it.

Hope it helps.
