Missing g++

I'm installing Gentoo. I need to update portage to continue the installation. When I try to update portage, the ebuild fails. It's clear that this is because I have no C++ compiler. I have gcc... but not g++.

If you are starting with a stage1 tarball, the procedure is slightly different than if you were doing a normal stage3 installation.

Duncan_L,

To build on what cyrillic said, stage1 is broken. It tries to use C++ before the C++ compiler is made

i've got around by STAGE1_USE="nocxx" emerge -e system on a recent stage1 install and then emerge -1 gcc.
