MAKEOPTS="-j1" Yes, the build takes longer, but it may actually build. Remember to set the option back to normal value after experimenting. A couple of unrelated items... 1) > ================================================================= > System Settings > ================================================================= > System uname: > Linux-4.9.72-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Quad_CPU_Q9550_@_2.83GHz-with-gentoo-2.4.1 > CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" > CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" Your kernel indicates "Core2", but your C(XX)FLAGS show "nocona". https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-6.4.0/gcc/x86-Options.html#x86-Options indicates that Core2 has the SSSE3 instruction set (not to be confused with SSE3) that Nocona doesn't have. "-march=native" is recommended unless you're using the machine to do binary builds for other Nocona machines. 2) > MAKEOPTS="-j5 -l8" ...on a 4-core cpu. There is some question about MAKEOPTS="-j($cores+1)" https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2013/01/14/makeopts-jcore-1-is-not-the-best-optimization/ As the old saying goes, "your mileage may vary". -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
