Hi, I recently tried to upgrade my system, but it just didnt work. When upgrading glibc, I run into this annoying error and I don't know how to get rid of it.

To begin with the beginning:
1) emerge --sync
2) emerge -uavND world
3) looking at the list and saying yes
4) sad face when it stops at glibc.
5) looked at the gcc upgrade guide

My make.conf:
Code:

# FEATURES="cvs"

#CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default"

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe"
#CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
#-funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
#USE="-nls"
USE="cups aac aalib acpi bash-completion bidi bluetooth cdparanoia cdr cjk cracklib dv dvd dvdr dvdread fbcon font-server fontconfig gimp glx kaspersky kdeenablefinal lame logitech-mouse mmx msn nvidia matroska opera pcmcia pnp reiserfs rhythmbox speedo sse svg svga svgz usb video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia vim wifi wma wmf wmv xcomposite xinerama xvid -apm -oss real theora dts live xanim win32codecs -nls gtk+ objc nptl nptlonly"


PORTAGE_NICENESS=15
CLEAN_DELAY="0"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo/"
FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 1 -T 5 \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 1 -T 5 \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
#PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES="2"
#PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="20"
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="lx.ford@gmail.com Ford"
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage

(I also think I messed something up with the PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI, can anybody tell me what that might be?)

The error I get:
Code:

checking version of makeinfo... 4.8, ok
checking for sed... sed
checking version of sed... 4.1.4, ok
checking for autoconf... autoconf
checking whether autoconf works... yes
configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 failed.
Call stack:

  glibc-2.4-r3.ebuild, line 941:   Called die

!!! failed to configure glibc
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.


Where am I supposed to find this INSTALL file?
Things I tried:
* fix_libtool_files.sh
* revdep-rebuild
* run around in circles and asked my bf to help (he said I should 'fix' it myself)
* browse @forums.gentoo (found nothing)
* tried a ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -uD gcc (this did not work, got the exact same errormsg.)


Gcc upgrade guide:
When I do a emerge -uav gcc, it doesnt't give my anything to emerge.
Running 'gcc -v' gave me the following:
Code:

I need help. :?

Did you tried: (After you updated your post I realize you haven't so do:)
Code:
# gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1
# source /etc/profile

And then:
Code:
emerge -uavtDN world

Okey your post is a lil confusing (no offense):

If i'm correct your using gcc 3.3.6 (from the output of gcc -v)

could you please do the following?

Code:

eselect compiler list
emerge --info


if you are really using gcc-3.3.6 you are really outdated (and newer glibc-versions are known to need newer gcc versions to compile)

Furthermore you need nptl and nptlonly in your use-flags if you want to compile glibc-2.4[/profile]

omg, I feel like such a dweeb. :oops: Kensai, you were right, the only thing I had to do was the gcc-config i686-pc-linus-gnu-4.1.1 :oops:
I should read the howto's better.


spielc, I've got those flags in my make.conf. And eselect compiler list tells me:
error: can't load the module compiler
exiting.

But that really doesn't matter now (I think) since my laptop just emerged the world succesfully.

Thanks. :)

We tend to forget but the gentoo documentaion and bugzilla are our best friends. :wink:

if eselect compiler fails, good old gcc-config -l (thats lower case L) will list the installed versions of gcc, then just do gcc-config <number> to swap between versions, just remember to do an env-update && source /etc/profile after each swap.
