Following advice given a few days ago, I changed from trying to upgrade from 3.2R to RELENG_4 in one fell swoop, and and now first trying to upgrade to RELENG_3 before making the leap to RELENG_4. I have now cvsup'ed the RELENG_3 sources, and am now attempting to make buildworld. I first tried last night, leaving the computer running before I went to bed. The make buildworld stopped at some point overnight with error/signal (can't remember the exact wording) 11 (definitely number 11, though). Fine, I thought, I delete /usr/obj and just start again, in case it was a one-off glitch.. I have tried to buildworld again this morning and this time make buildworld stopped with the following: [last few lines of typescript included] :::::: cc -O -pipe -DLIBC_RCS -DSYSLIBC_RCS -I/usr/src/lib/libc/include -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -I/usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/locale -DBROKEN_DES -DYP -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/include -c /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/gen/timezone.c -o timezone.o cc -O -pipe -DLIBC_RCS -DSYSLIBC_RCS -I/usr/src/lib/libc/include -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -I/usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/locale -DBROKEN_DES -DYP -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/include -c /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/gen/ttyname.c -o ttyname.o cc -O -pipe -DLIBC_RCS -DSYSLIBC_RCS -I/usr/src/lib/libc/include -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -I/usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/locale -DBROKEN_DES -DYP -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/include -c /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/gen/ttyslot.c -o ttyslot.o cc -O -pipe -DLIBC_RCS -DSYSLIBC_RCS -I/usr/src/lib/libc/include -D__DBINTERFACE_PRIVATE -DPOSIX_MISTAKE -I/usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/locale -DBROKEN_DES -DYP -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/include -c /usr/src/lib/libc/../libc/gen/ualarm.c -o ualarm.o cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6 *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. :::::: From previous posts on this list, it appears that these kind of errors usually suggest some kind of hardware problem? I'll be the first to admit that my machine is not the best. I was on a strict budget at the time, and the machine is a Pentium-MMX 233MHz, with a cheapie no-name TX PRO-II motherboard, home-built from components (new). The machine has been slightly upgraded since then, and now has 64MB RAM (4x 16MB SIMMs (all 'no-name')) and a larger hard disk. In everyday use the machine does crash occasionally (it's not left on permanently, and crashes maybe on one occasion every few weeks), but I'm never sure whether this is a result of shonky hardware or whether it's just Netscape sucking up all of the resources.. I'm reluctant to buy a new motherboard or memory (SIMMs are seemingly almost impossible to get hold of now, although the motherboard can also take DIMMs) on the off-chance that this may fix things as I can't really afford or justify it. I will try a further make buildworld, but if it looks like I'm continually running up errors (I appreciate that a buildworld puts a not inconsiderable strain on the components), I was wondering if there was an easy way to do a 'binary' upgrade of my system. Ordering the latest release CDs from the USA would obviously take a few weeks (oh, such impatience), I was wondering if there was a way to download and install a "binary" release (which I wouldn't need to compile) from the net in such a way that could be cleanly managed over consecutive one-hour download sessions (bear in mind that in the UK we have to pay for phone calls, and my flatmates do also need to use the phone, so it's not really possible for me to stay online for 50 hours at a time, although I could download 50-hours' worth of files progressively.. ) David. -- David Marsh,drmarsh@bigfoot.com | http://www.viewport.co.uk/ | Glasgow, Scotland. | If urgent, phone: +44 77-121-848-90 | >Trim quotes b4 replying; Quote 1st, reply 2nd; Ask b4 attaching files< To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
