It's still compiling: Gentoo "Ichigo" on VMWare

(tags Linux, Gentoo, VMWare, bug, resolved)

I'm slowly getting rid of stuff on my Project Asobi (1999) computer. One thing I'm trying to do is move a half-hearted VM built in Colinux running on Asobi into a more standard VM environment like VMWare Server. Both of them are Gentoo, and since Asobi itself is a Pentium III 500 MHz class computer, its slow going.

And I started an emerge command of 80 packages this morning, but its still not done even after about 12 hours now. None of them use X or KDE or whatever.

I tried to get DistCC going with my regular desktop but for some reason it doesn't hand off the batch jobs. I gotta figure this out for my sanity.

I did report a bug for one of the packages I like to use: "app-editors/qemacs-0.3.2_pre20070226 w/ USE=-X: install fails on copying "csstoqe"" They fixed it pretty quickly, which was nice.
