1 thanks for the response folks.

3 i swapped memory and the emerge still failed, again with a different,
4 but similar problem. (syntax errors, but different filesets), so we
5 can rule out the memory for now (though not completely).
6
7 i'll attempt to rebuild gcc tomorrow. (the machine is at work)
8
9 i'm quite perturbed by the xorg-x11 issues. i was able to compile the
10 kernel, a few system updates, etc. i was emerging fluxbox when i ran
11 across the xorg-x11 compile errors, it successfully built all the
12 dependencies up to that point. i also emerged gentoolkit, telnet,
13 ftp/ftpd, while emerging xorg-x11 and didn't come across any issues.
14
15 i was wondering if there's a way to boot the live cd, chroot to the
16 system, but force a gcc rebuild using the live cd gcc ( or is that
17 what i have from stage 3 install).
18
19 at any rate, this has been a fun learning experience and i appreciate
20 your responses.
