ERROR: x11-wm/metacity-2.14.5 failed Ok, so I've been able to get Gentoo up and running, setup Nvidia drivers, and emerged and sucessfully tested X following the gentoo X install guide. So I moved on to the gnome setup... again, following the Gentoo Gnome guide, and about half-way through the build I received: Code: emerge gnome xscreensaver Code: !!! ERROR: x11-wm/metacity-2.14.5 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1539: Called dyn_compile ebuild.sh, line 939: Called src_compile ebuild.sh, line 1248: Called gnome2_src_compile gnome2.eclass, line 64: Called die I'm not really sure what the error means except that x11-wm/metacity-2.14.5 failed. Should I just try emerge gnome xscreensaver again, or am I missing something? Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for your help.

That may or may not work, but from what I have experienced and heard on the forums, that O3 may actually make your binaries slower. Give that a try first, then if that doesn't work, we will try something else. Also, what version of GCC are you using? And I noticed you are using the i386 build, why not the i686? __________________ Linux User #376741 Preferred Linux Distro: Gentoo Screenshots Remember, Ubuntu is A Linux distribution, not THE Linux distribution.

gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)

I tried emerge gnome xscreensaver again with the -O2 instead of -O3 and it fails at the same place. I'm not sure why gcc is i386 instead of i686. Actually, looking at the stage3 tarball that I started with, I started with stage3-x86-2006.0.tar.bz2 could this be the problem, and if so do I have to start all over again?

You should have started with the 686 instead of the x86 tarball, but all will be alright. I would try running a Code: revdep-rebuild -p first, to see what libs are broken if any. I searched around on the gentoo forums, but didn't come up with much. I didn't search long though. Sorry I couldn't help you out with this one. __________________ Linux User #376741 Preferred Linux Distro: Gentoo Screenshots Remember, Ubuntu is A Linux distribution, not THE Linux distribution.
