I'm having a problem with the configure script for KDevelop. I believe it is because I just linked ccache to gcc-3.3.3 which I built on SuSE 9.0. There are three processes which seem to be stuck waiting for something. The process listed below as 24657 seems to be active, in so much as its cpu time continues to increase, and its memory usage fluctuates. The other two seem to be waiting for it to finish. But it has been running for 45 minutes.

Does anybody know what these processes are? I can kill them and start over without ccache, and it will almost certainly build. I just want to know what's going on.

I found the problem. It was not what I expected. It turns out that gcc does not create a cc version of its executable, and I had not symlinked it. Thinks invoking cc were getting a different version of gcc than things invoking gcc, g++ or c++. So now I've got it setup so that ~/.colorgccrc pints to my actual executable gcc, and a symlink to the same for cc. I put symlinks called g++, gcc, c++ and cc pointing to ccache before colorgcc in my $PATH so I can have both ccache and colorized gcc output. It actually seems to work. Are you impressed? :-) I still would like to know what the perl invocation was trying to do. - -- Regards, Steven -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAv3DVwX61+IL0QsMRAqGXAKCRkgUWingkFjHVeS3mNqRM2UbW7gCgp6zK xDzjYyDtlJI9uw4hz2nLzLg= =uEE3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
