make/make install freeze


Hey all,

Recently ive tried installing a few packages using the

./configure
make
make install

Installation method.

However, it always freezes? It gets part way through make or make install and then the everything just freezes, i cant change terminals(?) to kill the pid or anything.

Any ideas on why this is doing so?

My appologies, i should have been more specific. It freezes during the installations, and its not only when im in X.

What is your filesystem, reiserfs ?
Do you run slackware 10.1 or slackware current,
if slackware current, did you upgrade glibc and all ?

Any error in /var/log/syslog ?
Did you use top command to see if there is not a process
that eat all your resource ? Also what is your machine spec
(processor + ram)

I run slackware 10.1 on reiserfs.

Specs: P4 @ 2.4GHz

Running /var/log/syslog (as root) gives me permission denied, running it through pico gives thousands of lines. Hope that helps

It's not meant to be executed, it's just a log file (hence why opening it with pico works). You'll need to show some of the contents, to be able to get help (maybe just some of the end of the file).

Add shpchp and pciehp to /etc/hotplug/blacklist with :
Code:
echo shpchp >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist
echo  pciehp >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist
(do these commands as root)

Nothing is magic
That should have stopped the errors that fill your /var/log/syslog though

I assume you wail a little time before consider the system is frozen, right ?

Now what is the output with :
Code:
tail -n 20 /var/log/syslog

Now what is this USB device the system complain about ?
Maybe post the output with :
Code:
/sbin/lspci | grep -i usb
lsmod
Did you try to unplug it before boot ?

You don't need to reboot when pluging and unpluging usb devices
(I usually look at dmesg command output before and after I plug
an usb drive to see how it goes)

Did you try to unplug the usb device before attempt a make install ?
(sounds weird I know, but anyway...)

You are sure that the system freeze on make install but not on make
aren't you ?
