ERROR: gmake fails with Error 139
--> This is Very Bad(TM). Means it exited with errors
128 + 11, SIG11 meaning segfault. Bane of my
existence. This is a brand new system!

--> I'm going to assume that this isn't a hardware
thing. It could just be that because I have an
earlier, RPM version of fontconfig installed, there's a
permissions lock that would otherwise break my system,
so SUSE is trying to keep me from shooting myself in
the foot, root or no. Maybe. So, Alternate Path:
going to build my own binary RPM, that's all there is
to it.

RPM BUILD: FONTCONFIG
After doing some more reading, well, forget this.
Can't live like this--if I have to recompile my entire
system from scratch I might as well install Gentoo.
Hey, now there's an idea....
I’m fed up, and now I’m going to try to go with CentOS. If I can’t get a good operating copy of Gaim under this system 64-bit, I’ll go 32-bit until I know the software and kernels have caught up with the hardware. Gaim 0.75 is just unacceptable, and it’s more unacceptable that half my crap keeps crashing. Such is life.
