[gentoo-user] distcc trivial issue (i'm sure)

[Simon]

Hi,
   I've followed several docs about setting up distcc, one from the gentoo 
manuals and the other on distcc's website.  I believe I understand the whole 
concept pretty well, but my problem is: only the first host compiles.

   I have 3 hosts, if I use nmap, it can detect the distcc port is open what 
version of distcc and gcc it's using.  This proves it's running on all hosts.  I 
have scp all distcc config files to all hosts, including make.conf (3 pcs are 
the same arch, etc).  And of course option -j4

   If I run emerge on a pkg, I will see the log populating on the 3 machines, 
there must be communication!  After manipulating DISTCC_DIR, I got distccmon-gui 
to work.

   The monitor will show at the begining that "localhost" is compiling a small 
file during the ./configure.  Then when compilation kicks in, "localhost" stops 
working completely and "192.168.96.64"(ip of localhost on lan) starts working 
steadily.  IP:*.64 is the first host in /etc/distcc/hosts.

   I have set the logs to debug level, which i believe is the level that will 
show ALL information (right?).  I have read through that log during a 
compilation, specially at the start, and found absolutely no mention of the IP 
of any other hosts, nothing talking about connection issues or similar.

   I'm stuck here, I don't know what I'm looking for and help would be greatly 
appreciated!

Thanks,
   Simon
