Hi.

I've got a hard time compiling GCL-2.6.7. The build is stuck on a
segfault, caused by a buggy malloc, Gentoo bugtracking list dixit :

Building symbol table for /sources/gcl-2.6.7/unixport/raw_pre_gcl ..

Unrecoverable error: Segmentation violation..
/bin/sh: line 1: 13485
Abandon /sources/gcl-2.6.7/unixport/raw_pre_gcl /sources/
gcl-2.6.7/unixport/
-libdir /sources/gcl-2.6.7/ < foo make[1]: *** [saved_pre_gcl] Erreur 134
rm raw_pre_gcl make[1]: quittant le répertoire
« /sources/gcl-2.6.7/unixport » make: *** [unixport/saved_pre_gcl] Erreur
2

I don't quite understand all the workarounds provided by the Gentoo list,
as they are quite contradictory. Can someone help me compile this
package ? I need it badly for Maxima.

\bye

PS : it used to compile quite fine on my previous installation... But I
didn't write down the process, and now the hard drive is gone back to its
creator !

Unless you want to build the gentoo 'secret sauce' yourself for such packages
when you update or need to compile yourself, then I don't recommend gentoo.

Are you compiling a gentoo package, or from a raw source tarball?

raw source tarball. I use the Gentoo list only because they identify
problems similar to the ones LFS users encounter :-)

The SVN versions gives similar error messages. I suspect a compatibility
problem with Gcc, without any particular clue to this...

Can you run a direct 'diff' between the Gentoo modified package, and the raw
source tarball? Or examine the tweaks they apply in the build system?

I think you missed a point : I DON'T use Gentoo tarball. Mine is the
Gcl-2.6.7.tar.gz tarball I found on the GCL savanah page, with NO diff
applied. I just tried to read the Gentoo bug list on this package, and
didn't find anything conclusive about it.

So I'm looking at someone having encountered AND solved, if possible,
this error :-)

No, I didn't say *use* the Gentoo tarball. I said look at it. I do this for
software packages frequently, to find if there are specific tweaks necessary
that someone else has applied, just as you are seeking.

Oups, sorry. I'll try that.
