[gentoo-user] GCC won't compile, don't understand the error

[Kaizu Shibata]

I'm having trouble with an update. I can't seem to build the new gcc,
and I don't understand the error. For some reason, a process has been
killed. I do not know why this is.

You need to look back further. There is a error further up the output.
Look for Error 1 and then go back a little further still. Sometimes it
can start a dozen or more lines back.

Dale:

There was no error in the build log, however I found an out of memory
error in dmesg. I've created a swap file.

[Dale]

I saw error 2, usually there is a error 1. Sometimes its hard to find
though. It can be buried. That said, if it ran out of memory, it may
not be there anymore. It may have burped it out. lol

I hate when I run out of memory. I have 16GBs here and I still run
short at times. :/ Either way, glad you figured it out and hope it got
you back on the right path again.
