I experimented complete system freeze merging hugin. I have a 4 core phenom and
followed the advice into the handbook by setting
MAKEOPTS="-j5"
When the system was hanging, around or less than 1G ram was in use and the
processor use for the 4 cores was 100%.
I try with
MAKEOPTS="-j2" emerge hugin
and it worked just fine.
Is it just to go with MAKEOPTS="-j2" in make.conf ?
Maybe your ram is flaky? At least those two or three
times I have bought bad ram chips (I've worked as
a system manager), I noticed it during compilation.
