Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-2)

Code:
uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.35-grml #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 4 10:58:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

But I tried also with kernels 2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686 and 2.6.32-5-686 from Debian

After talking to you I tried a couple of different things, including "ulimit -v NUMBER" and "ulimit -m NUMBER" before compiling, but these don't seem to be respected, but I got to kill it before it killed me, so the build log is attached. You will notice that right in the beginning of the build it goes mad.

This one also looks problematic, the BSD daemon doesn't look so evil:
Code:
         (__) 
         (oo) 
   /------\/ 
  / |    ||   
 *  /\---/\ 
    ~~   ~~   
...."Have you mooed today?"...

Any more information you might need, I'll be glad to give.

Best regards,
Teresa e Junior

I forgot to mention, I have done a dist-upgrade this morning, but still no results.
Accourding to the log, you are trying to compile the kernel ?

Your issue started with compiling icecat right ?

Fisrt, is your machine 64bit capable ?

..

ulimit has nothing to do with it Smilie you would have had an out of memory message ...

but you can try to copile under root just in case .

and during this morning's upgrade, was gcc abd glibc upgraded ?

regards

yes a couple of more things:

plase check on icecat's doc, make sure you have all the right dependencies (gcc version/kernel/glibc...) some softwares require a certain version of compilers /kernles etc ...

and if u can, i log of compiling icecat.

regards

I can't compile Icecat nor the kernel.

Yes, but since alsa doesn't work right in the 64 kernel for me (don't ask me why), and I had to install a lot of 32 libs on it, I stayed with i686.

Quote:

compile as root user? I think debuild uses fakeroot when needed.

Quote:

gcc was, but I browsed Debian bugs and couldn't find anything related, and the changelogs don't show anything important.

"sudo apt-get build-dep icecat" installs everything. I had a look at the docs, they say libpango libpangoxft libpangoft2 libfreetype libxft libgtk2 libx11, which I have.

Quote:

It is attached. This one I left for about five hours before killing the machine. The one from the kernel build I killed when started going mad.

Thanks for your help so far! I hope we'll get there!

ok, the 4.4.5 version of GCC must be buggy because on gnu.org its not even listed as a release .

can you please do an apt-cache search "^gcc*" or something, just to list available gcc versions that you can put on your machine .

not to get too personal Smilie what CPU do you have ? and the exact version of your distro ?

I see 2G of ram already .

I could try the older 4.1.2-29 or 4.3.5-4, or the experimental 4.5.1-8

4.3.5-4 in testing, and 4.5.1-8 in experimental. I'll try 4.3.5-4 now to see if it helps, and then 4.5.1-8 from experimental, but without enabling the experimental repositories. There is also 4.1.2-29, which already hit stable (maybe should be the wisest choice).

Actually, I find it more stable than testing!
