Hi,
I just got done installing gentoo 2000.5 (stage3) and everything went great. The installation docs were right on the money.
BUT...
After rebooting I had no problems until I tried to do a "emerge --update world" and then it terminated halfway thru and then 'emerge' is now screwed. The error is something to do with Python and then I tried to run the python executable and it complains about a library. So since I have done absolutly everything as the installation said, up until the --update it can't be my problem. So I am going to reinstall gentoo but I need to figure out why my update messed things up so I don't have to be afraid to do an update... |

perhaps you could give us some more specific error messages...It's hard to help when the problem is this vague.

Yeah the error was something like:
| Quote: | | "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
That above link sounds like it was the exact problem I had... I have already installed gentoo again (well I guess I am just now compiling the kernel again)
So in any event I see I am not alone, but I still wish I knew why it happened? |

During my search for answers I did come across a post that said something like: you always need to do an "emerge -up world" before you do a "emerge -u world" to avoid errors. And it rambled on as to why the person thought that and yadda yadda yadda...
Is there any truth to that? |

Haven't read that specific post, but the 'p' switch just allows to see what portage is planning to emerge.

It happens because portage was by default only building things for C and not including C++ in it's basic build. So all the C++ related stuff in gcc wasn't being built.
For a fix go to:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85490
And check out "Comment 36"... it seemed to be the most straight-foward. |
