Sandbox emerge fails with the following error:

Code:

As you can see, it says "Configuring sandbox for ABI=x86..." and NOT amd64 which it should say. I've been looking in the ebuild file and tried to do some minor changes there but they are not reflected. I don't know why, I have changed ebuilds before and those changes were reflected.

Edit: I can make changes in the ebuild. These are the lines that might be the problem, we are not entering here:
Code:

setup_multilib() {
    if use amd64 && has_m32 && [[ ${CONF_MULTILIBDIR} == "lib32" ]]; then
      # setting up variables for amd64



I suspect the problem is that it's trying to build for x86 (32 bit) instead of amd64.

I will post my emerge --info and the config.log.

Could someone please post the result of:
Code:
#echo $CONF_MULTILIBDIR


Mine is empty and I guess that's were my problem lie. I suspect it should be "lib32".

Cheers.

Well, I have a similar problem with sandbox (I think it's not quite the same), and I cannot run 32 bit programs, much less recompile the toolchain. Coincidentally, now that you mention this, my $CONF_MULTILIBDIR is empty too!

I'll reply to another thread where a similar problem was discussed. I'll get back to you if I find something.

Cheers

Code:

~ $ echo $CONF_MULTILIBDIR


Mine is also empty. I would probably have to check during the actual build, as I suspect it's probably not set unless portage is running.

Have you tried doing as per the warning?
Code:

 * If configure fails with a 'cannot run C compiled programs' error, try this:
 * FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox

sandbox emerged for me without a hitch, and I get the same "x86" line:
Code:

 * Configuring sandbox for ABI=x86...
 * econf: updating sandbox-1.2.17/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
 * econf: updating sandbox-1.2.17/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess


After looking a little closer, this seems to be why you can't compile:
Code:

...
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I have these files:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcc.a
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/32/libgcc.a

Do those files exist on your system?
If it's setting up for x86, shouldn't the path be something like /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/32/?

There was also this:
Code:

configure:2263: gcc -V </dev/null >&5
gcc: `-V' must come at the start of the command line
configure:2266: $? = 1

As far as I know, the "-V" option is for invoking a particular version of gcc -- but there's no argument there! Maybe these two errors point to a common problem. Not sure what that would be, though.
Best guess is that a variable to hold the gcc version is empty? And then it flubs like the above.

If the FEATURES=-sandbox thing doesn't work, try posting the output of gcc-config -l and ls -l /etc/make.profile

Could be true, but I've read the ebuild script all day and it doesn't set CONF_MULTILIBDIR in there, so I though it would be set
when using multilib, as the current default-linux amd64 profile is from default now. The if statement from the ebuild I pasted before
is failing because the CONF_MULTILIBDIR does not equal "/usr/lib32".

Yes, I've tried it, no success. The err msg is also different from what I'm getting.

I have the first of them, I do not have the ../32/libgcc.a file. On my system, /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64. In
/usr/lib32, the gcc directory is "missing", I dont know if it should be there.

When setting up for x86, the path should rather be /usr/lib32/gcc/... but since I'm missing the gcc directory there, I'm not sure.

As for the -V flag, Im not sure, to be honest, I didnt see that before. I have used gcc-config and binutils-config to set the
environment and they seem to work.

Code:

 # gcc-config -c
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6


Code:

# binutils-config -c   
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1

SOLVED.

Everything seems to work now, it's only bad that I don't know why. ;)

I tried a billion things, the last resort was actually to write on the forum. Anyway, I suspect it had to do with -e flag for emerge. As I probably wrote in the first post, I had used the x86 32-bit profile to compile large parts of my system instead of the amd64 profile.

I began step-by-step to emerge things like portage and gcc with the -e flag. Now it works.


Thank you everyone that helped me.

I have the same problem.

When im trying to compile packages which ar doing C compiler checking i constantly get this error:


Code:
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.


So i cannot compile grub, sandbox ( I tried FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox' ) and many others.

How did u solve ur problem met0d?

I used amd64 minimal boot disk and stage1-amd64, so im pretty sure that im not messed with 32-bit compilation at all.


tnx in advance

First, check for sure you are using the right profile with emerge --info. Then try to emerge -e portage, emerge -e glibc, emerge -e gcc.

See man emerge and specifically the -e flag for more information, I hope you solve it.

Hi.

I'm getting this error on one of my AMD64 boxes. (haven't started upgrading the other one yet, and probably won't until i find out how to fix this)
I've already upgraded 2 32-bit x86 boxes to GCC 4.1.1 and glibc 2.4 after the release of 2006.1, without any problems, but on the first 64-bit Athlon box I try, "emerge -e system" chokes on Sanbox, failing with "C compiler cannot create executables". Based on that, I guess this is an AMD64-specific issue.

This is an actual AMD Athlon64 box, and not an Intel EM64T "x86-64" compatible, and it is running a 64-bit Gentoo system.

I've tried to re-emerge it seperately with "emerge --oneshot sandbox", but that results in the same error. Also, I've checked the compiler, and there does not seem to be anything wrong with it - even running
Code:

$ ./configure
$ make

manually in the work folder of sandbox actually seems to compile it fine without errors - though I'd rather not install it that way.

I've now run "emerge -e gcc", and am about half-way through "emerge -e portage" (currently at re-compiling GCC yet another time), and sandbox still fails with the same error.

Did anyone actually find an exact solution to this?

I had the same exact problem as you, forbjok. I have made a separate post at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-495587.html where I discuss the issue, have a look. Essentially you should maybe remove or delete some versions of gcc in /usr/bin.

All, interesting enough I had the same symptoms but none of the fixes worked. Turns out it was a mistake in my kernel config. I figure I will post this here to help out any others.

My machine is a Dell PowerEdge 850 with a pentium-D processor. This is a 64-bit processor w/o hyperthreading. I had the error

Quote:

Code:
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.


And the fix was in the kernel config
Code:

Excutable file formats / Emulations --->
   [*] Kernel support for ELF binaries
   < > Kernel support for MISC binaries
   [*] IA32 Emulation
   <*>   IA32 a.out support


I did not have the
Code:
[*] IA32 Emulation
   <*>   IA32 a.out support


compiled in, which won't allow the 64 bit machine to run 32 bit code natively. Which is why the sandbox (and gcc) would not compile correcly with
Code:
emerge -e system

Interesting. I do have the IA32 emulation support enabled in my kernel, but not the a.out support. You can probably remove this one and it should work, too.

I too have been having problems trying to compile gcc and sandbox since I upgraded to gcc-4.1.1. I still haven't fixed it yet but I'm going to try your suggestions when I get the chance.

However, I would like to ask whether you know the answer to the question posed dusik in that link

as I too am worried about deleting stuff and am a complete noob when it comes the internals of the emerge system.

I am far from an expert here but my system is a clean install. Just got the system two days ago and I do not have any
Code:
 /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc*
files at all. All of mine are

Thanks balarsen.

Couple of questions.

Do you have any i686* files in /usr/bin?

Is your system is multilib?

My system has been upgraded from 2004.0 eventually to 2006.1 so I wonder how much cruft it has accumulated along the way. (The multilib stuff seems super confusing so I worry about breaking it! Trouble is my system is semi-broken now anyway :( )

No
Code:
> ls /usr/bin/*i686*
ls: No match.

At the risk of sounding really dumb I will admit I'm not sure I know what this means in those words. Yes I can run 32-bit i686 binaries if that is what you mean. :oops:

I can post any relevant files you want to see.

Thanks, your answers are fine.

BTW. my understanding of multilib is about the same level as yours :oops: but the dual ability to run 32/64 bit apps is what I meant. I belive this is the default for 64 bit systems now. I think you have to make a special effort to get 64 bit only with 2006.1

I ran into this problem today. Thanks to all of you and your posts here I got it fixed by moving the /usr/bin/i686 gcc files to a remote directory. I also have the IA32 support in my kernel. I did not have to turn that off to get sandbox to emerge.

Hope this helps,
Mark
