I've been having a problem with gcc. running gcc-config -l returns:
Code: |
env: envvar: Invalid argument
* /usr/bin/gcc-config: Could not get portage CHOST!
* /usr/bin/gcc-config: No gcc profile is active; please select one!

switching to gcc-config 5
Code: |
root@sven ~ # gcc-config 5
* Switching to i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 compiler ... [ ok ]
|
but then running genkernel
Code: |
env: envvar: Invalid argument
gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "gcc"
|
But a fair few times...
anyone seen this?
Cheers,

when u look at your output you see that there's an error:
Code: | * /usr/bin/gcc-config: Could not get portage CHOST! |
It's just a guess but I think your make.conf is missing something like:
Code: | CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" |

nope, checked that...
Code: |
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
USE="X x86 nptl nptlonly 3dnow 3dnowext acpi -apm alsa cdr dvd dvdr dvdread truetype gnome gtk gtk2 hal mmx mmxext pam png jpeg nls sse theora usb"
|
tried to manually change it to CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-3.4.4" and a few other variants, but still no joy. _________________ Tua mater tam antiqua ut linguam latinam loquatur

I am getting something very similar. I am trying to install Gentoo (don't worry, I've done this a bazillion times before), and while emerge -e system, it hits the package python-fchksum-1.7.1 and throws this error:
gcc-config error: could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"
It seems to me that it is looking for an old compiler. It successfully emerged 20 packages before hitting this one and those were compiled fine. Anyone else seen this? _________________ Member of the Gentoo Right Wing Conspiracy |

you must do as so then change gcc vertion
# gcc-config -l #--- this is list the current gcc version ---#
#gcc-config 5(a num of gcc version list) #--- this is exchange to a new gccc version ---#
#source /etc/profile #--- this is update your envolument, must do it ! ---#
#gcc -v #-- this is sure the version --# _________________ AMD Athlon-mp 2200+ 512M
If you can dream it , you can do it ! |

I've done all those steps before. A friend has been helping me out and we've got quite a bit of head way, but I'm still getting this:

I'm no expert, but have never seen "x86" as a USE flag. CHOST and CFLAGS should take care of everything like that. Since there aren't any other good option, try deleting it. It __may__ be that upon finding an illegal USE, the process stops and never gets to CHOST in make.conf. Hence the CHOST error. If that doesn't work, I'd try real basic and simple USE params. Your guess is as good as mine. |

USE flag x86 does exist (in the global list most likely).
search /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc for a description.
For the person with the error:
Do any other programs give errors after gcc-config ?
I'm also wondering if any of the other gcc-config options would help ? (try 'gcc-config' by itself for the list).
Just some thoughts anyway. |

Ok, I ran into this very same error at the same stage of installation and the same file. All other packages before compiled fine without errors. /etc/make.conf has the correct values and profile is sourced - as I said, all packages before compiled without error.
This is my first installation of Gentoo. I know my way around Linux after 8+ years and I have the very fine documentation here before me (online on a second computer) but at the moment I'm lost. I read the HowTo which is linked above but it does not help. The system is in the middle of installation, so how can I fix the problem and continue - or do I have to start from scratch and forget the last 5 hours of downloading and compiling? And if so, how can I avoid running into the same trap?
ATM the system sits right there and I don't know how to go on. If you feel like saying "Go back to Mandriva or SuSE if you can't help yourself!", ok, I will do that and I'll live happily ever after. If you feel like helping me to go on, I will do that, too. But one of those 2 would be nice because I hate computers which sit right there doing nothing.

I'm getting the same error on a new installation of 2005.1 progressing from stage 2 to stage 3 during emerge --emptytree system. Like you I compiled 20+ packages without error then hit this package and encountered the same error. |

Yes, that's it. I guess, if stumbling onto that problem during an update of a running system would leave some options I could deal with - like the HowTo mentioned above. But it's a party killer during an installation! And it looks as if we are not the only people with this problem. So a solution should be possible. Even if that involves starting all over again.

Update:
In absence of any other idea or hint from the forum crowd I tried the [HOWTO 'Could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"] although I hate doing something without really knowing what I'm doing. But I can't let this machine stay idle for days without knowing whether or not the problem will be solved. So I followed the HowTo to the letter and hoped for the best.
But, no change in result, same error as before.

there's two completely unrelated problems reported in this thread, so i'm addressing the original poster's. gcc-config error: could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" has nothing to do with this so please start a new thread or search the forum.
sven_sol: i think your current config got screwed up somehow. check if you have a /etc/env.d/gcc/config on your system, and that it contains one line:
Code: | CURRENT=i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 |
the problem is the error "env: envvar: Invalid argument". i'm not sure why you're getting that. the line that's generating that error in gcc-config is:
Code: | export REAL_CHOST=$(${ENV} -i ${PORTAGEQ} envvar CHOST 2>/dev/null) |
which should work.
Code: | dirtyepic ~ $ portageq envvar CHOST
i686-pc-linux-gnu |

i've had this problem show up on three systems in the last 24 hours. the common denominator is that they were all loaded with the portage-20050827 snapshot and had the toolkit rebuilt with emerge -e system && emerge -e system.
here's what emerge --info looks like:

just for reference, there is an appropriate CHOST entry in make.conf: Code: | CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
|
and look at this:
Code: | deena / # portageq envvar CHOST
i686-pc-linux-gnu
deena / #

hmmm. problems with gcc-config?

Now here is a fine example of how a Gentoo Developer should NOT fix his bugs:
I documented with great clarity the problem with gcc-config-1.4.0 in the portage tree this morning. I documented that it remains in the portage snapshot dated portage-20050827.tar.bz2. i filed a bug report that clearly identified the problem.
Vapier's solution? delete gcc-config-1.4.0 from the portage tree and mark the bug as RESOLVED INVALID, claiming that gcc-config-1.4.0 does not exist, and blame me for filing an invalid bug report.
this is fucking ridiculous.
its one thing to admit you've made a mistake and fix the bug. its something entirely different to remove the buggy file from the portage tree, claim that the bug never existed, and then blame the user for filing an invalid bug report.
Vapier, this is not the first time that you've done this. i think that its really sad that Gentoo Develpers would use methods like these to try to falsify their statistics. _________________ .
