I have the rc2 version of Gentoo Linux loaded on my machine, I have an AMDK6-2/350Mhz processor, 256MB of Ram, GeForce 64MB AGP video card. When I do an emerge xfree I get the following errors ( after > 6 hrs of compiling ) I have gcc 3.2 also.

make[2]:Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/gtk+-1.2.10-r9/work/gtk+-1.2.10/gtk'

make[1] *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]:Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/gtk+-1.2.10-r9/work/gtk+-1.2.10'
make:***[all-recursive-am] Error 2

!!! Error: X11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r9 failed
!!! Function src_compile, Line 53, Exitcode 2
!!! ( no error message )

Any help would be appreciated, what do I look at first!?!

Thanks in advance...............Gregg

well try and install gtk-1.2 i'm not used to portage at all, but assuming it's as similar to bsd ports as i believe, go to /var/tmp/portage/gtk+-1.2.10-r9, run "make clean" and try to install that package again. if it fails i guess that there should be methods to use alternative packages... maybe there's a newer version of gtk1.2 in the cvs portage tree?

Thanks for the idea, I'm new to portage myself, I updated the portage tree before I did the build, so the .10-r9 should be the "latest and greatest" stable gtk1.2 release. I'll try the "make clean" tonight and see what happens.
