I upgraded my system overnight, and did not check, but gcc 4.6.3 did not build properly.

However, i stupidly removed gcc-4.5.4 (emerge --depclean) which was working fine. :?
Now: how can I re-emerge gcc? I don't have a working gcc to compile.

Thanks,

Iddo

Or look if gcc-config lists an available gcc. ;)

I am not sure how to do that. Actually, i may have made things worse

I got gcc-4.4.5.tbz2 placed it in /

Code:
tar -xfjp gcc-4.4.5.tbz2


Now I seem to have broken several things.. including emerge

my /usr/lib looks like this:

# ls /usr/lib/
gcc pkgconfig

Actually, my lib64 seems fine (I'm on a x64 architecture). emerge is there.
Code:
/usr/lib64/portage/bin/emerge


But /usr/bin/emerge is (brokenly) linked to /usr /lib/portage/bin/emerge

Not sure what other things are hosed...

over tinderbox available 4.5.3
i.e.
Code:
[ root@desktop ] megabaks # emerge -pG sys-devel/gcc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[binary     UD ] sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r2 [4.5.4] USE="-gtk* -nls* -nocxx% -objc* -objc++* -objc-gc*"

/usr/lib is a symbolic link to /usr/lib64 so if /usr/lib64/ is still fine
Code:
rm /usr/lib
cd /usr
ln -s lib64 lib

When using the tinderbox as portage binhost, you may need to also get some dependencies from there if gcc refuses to run due to broken dynamic links.

What you could do instead is downloading a current stage3, extracting to some new directory, bind-mount /usr/portage there, then chroot into it and run "quickpkg gcc". Outside chroot you can then run "emerge --usepkgonly gcc".

Next time, before unmerging things you did not install yourself, best consult this forum topic.

thanks.

The /usr/lib symlinks are working fine now.

Still have a masking problem:

Code:


emerge -avGK sys-devel/gcc

 * IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-devel/gcc" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r2::gentoo (masked by: CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu)
- sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword, CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu)
- sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4::gentoo (masked by: CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu)
- sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2::gentoo (masked by: CHOST: i686-pc-linux-gnu)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

All's well. 4.5.4 emerged and libraries seem OK after a revdep-rebuild

Thanks to all for your help.
