Compile error on Debian Potato

[tigerknight]

Just installed a debian box lately to work as a replacement router for the mandrake box I had (which the bios battery failed on and it flaked after a power outage). I'm still getting used to debian, but when compiling I'm getting an error as follows.

I realize the kernel is a little old, and I'll be updating asap, but here's what I have so far:

Linux spastic 2.2.19pre17-idepci #1 Mon Apr 2 01:31:38 PDT 2001 i686 unknown

all packages are said to be 'most current version' when running an apt-get install XXX. QT was also installed as version 2.0.2 (and I'm rebuilding that as 3.+ just now to try and see if that helps, but when running make -f makefile.dist, it said the version of 2.0.2 was workable.

Thanks ahead of time :]

Look for my post in the old forums about patch for egcs 2.91, it may fix some if not all your problems.

You will need qt 2.3.2 or higher (some slightly earlier versions will work but you have to manually make some changes related to SGI theme support).

I'm /still/ compiling qt 3.something, having started about 12 hours ago. My little pentium pro is chuggin right along. After that's done I'll check into the ecgs like you mentioned and probably update the kernel too. thanks again!

[tigerknight]

Wow.. [blink] I take that back. It hasn't been compiling for the past twelve hours. It just shut off. I searched the logs and couldn't find anything helpful other than the fact that at 21:34 there was a message in the logs about 'switching to runlevel 0'. Booted back up and now continuing to compile.

[tigerknight]

I must admit, i've never seen a compile cause a system to power itself off. I tried reconfiguring and recompiling qt and it did the same thing again. I'm updating the kernel now to 2.4 and will try again. If it fails again I can only assume that there's something wrong somewhere that I can't figure out since I had no errors in system install and such.

If this happens, does anyone know where I can get a debian package of qt? Thanks ahead of time.

migrate to frozen or unstable (preferable unstable :) works great, i do all my dev work and run showeq in a debian unstable environment.

[tigerknight]

I upgraded the kernel, installed it and it boots fine... but now it doesn't see the nic's I had installed and configured under 2.2 kernel.. argh!!! I'm gonna scream >:P

So I guess nevermind the questions about seq, I'll have to dig up answers about debian first! (unless anyone here can help, even though it's a bit off topic)
