FreeBSD 9.0 buildworld error on AMD64

Dear List Members

Good afternoon. I am having difficulty in running buildworld on an existing FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 box. It worked ok the last time I did this (both world and kernel were updated at that time, about two weeks ago).

Below are the steps that I followed

ran csup against cvsup.freebsd.org with the following items in my sup file

Code: 
*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_9
*default delete use-rel-suffix


It completed successfully, so I went to /usr/src and ran


Code: 
make cleandir
make cleandir
rm -Rf /usr/obj/usr

make -j4 buildworld


and the resulting errors can be viewed at http://pastebin.com/cFn6p4CG

my system information (uname -a)
Code: 
FreeBSD mybox.test.lan 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #0: Fri Aug  3 16:38:58 BST 2012
sysadmin@mybox.test.lan:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/mybox01  amd64



also, cat /etc/make.conf
Code: 
# added by use.perl 2012-04-16 09:42:27
PERL_VERSION=5.12.4

I am a little confused, because all other google searches are pointing to changes in make.conf and CLANG settings -- which does not seem relevant for me. Also, this would be 5th or 6th time I am trying to build the world (playing with Jails), and nothing (not even the kernel options) have been changed in-between.

Would appreciate your valuable comments/suggestions/pointers.

Thank you

I was about to post the list of installed ports, hoping that that might shed some light, when I noticed gmake listed as one of the installed package. Not sure why it was there (I did not consciously install it, must have been one of the other packages). I went to the gmake folder in ports and did a make deinstall, and it deinstalled without any fuss. Now, the buildworld seems to be running happily. If it bails out again, I will post it (hopefully within the next two hours), otherwise, would appreciate if this thread is marked as [SOLVED].

Thank you all
 
devel/gmake is needed by many ports. That was probably not the cause. "Segmentation fault" can sometimes mean RAM or power supply problems.

PS: make cleandir is a waste of time if you are going to delete /usr/obj/usr anyway.
 
Dear wblock@

Thank you for your response. You may be correct, but when I did the make deinstall from inside the ports directory, it did not complain, which it generally does if the port is needed by some other installed port. Maybe it was more of a build-dependancy than run-dependancy.

Also, after deinstalling gmake, the system / world build went smoothly without any hiccup. So I presume the thread can now be marked as [solved].

Thank you once again.

Dear eskay

I had the same problem as yours, today, with buildworld. After reading your post and deinstalling gmake, buildworld completed successfully.

Thank you
