 Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 5:54 am Post subject: screwed up my system by removing gcc-4.0.2-r1 |
 |
|
I shouldn't have been so rash. gcc-config was not switching gccs and I thought I'd get rid of one and re-emerge it with different USE flags. Brilliant , but what's done is done.
Various things (including python -- so no emerge) are telling me that they're missing libsomething-or-another.
Any suggestions? |

Is there a ppc binary package for gcc-4.0.2-r1?
I still have gcc-3.4.4. I guess I could ftp the source and build it "by hand", but a binary package would be easier. The missing shared library file is libstdc++so.6. |

Sorry, forgot about those details. Yes, I had altivec turned on and I was using "mcpu=G4". |

You'll probably want to unpack that over your current system, or at the very least, unpack it and take the binary you need and put it in a lib dir.
Learning not to unmerge critical system programs is fun.  |
Whew. That helped. I still had to symlink /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux-gnu and powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu before python etc. could find libstdc++.so.6, but all is working now. Thanks for your help, JoseJX. |

There is a great way to avoid this type of thing although like any solution it requires foresight.
Before you blow away a package like that, do a quickpkg of the package you are going to blow away. that's part of um...
| Code: | # equery belongs `whereis quickpkg|sed -e 's/\ /\n/g'|grep bin`
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/sbin/quickpkg in *... ]
sys-apps/portage-2.0.51.22-r3 (/usr/sbin/quickpkg -> ../lib/portage/bin/quickpkg) |
... portage apparently. Then when TSHTF you can just untar that sucker from /usr/portage/packages/All (or wherever you put it), re-emerge it with the --usepkg to pull all the cruft you just added back into portage, and then continue on your merry way as if nothing happened. Of course, all that is assuming you are still able to run 'tar' (keeping a static version around might be wise. I am not that wise personally but I have a disaster recovery partition and backups to fall back on).
I occasionally nuke /usr/portage/packages and rebuild world with the "buildpkg" FEATURE activated, which gives you a pretty good snapshot of everything in portage. In practice, however, this could be pretty awkward to use in a disaster-recovery situation unless it was of recent vintage.
