If you do that, be sure to read http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml. Otherwise you may completely break your system. > > > Does firefox write anything to the terminal after crashing ? > > nothing, I also tried to start firefox through "strace", It stoped at > "waitpid" system call, did not write anything after crashing. > I've heard somebody compiling firefox with debug infomation, but I > don't know > how to use that~. Should be done like this: # echo "www-client/mozilla-firefox debug" >> /etc/portage/package.use # vi /etc/make.conf # add 'nostrip' to FEATURES # emerge -av firefox if you have gdb installed, you can: $ gdb firefox (gdb) run if firefox crashes (gdb) back However, i would really advise you to follow the gcc upgrade guide and switch to gcc-3.4.x. This is most likely to solve your problem. Matthias -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
