C++ compiler error (PPC)

Boomer · Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2002 1:03 pm Post subject: C++ compiler error (PPC)

Note: I'm using the ppc version.

While trying to 'emerge system' I got this message:

checking for c++... no
checking for g++... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc -02 -pipe ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_comile, Line 1, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)

!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/sys-libs/db/db-3.4.3h-r4.ebuild .

Now, the funny thing about this is that it ran for several hours and appears to have compiled other programs sucessfully.

Is this a problem with the db ebuild or am I missing a compiler, or is it a configuration problem?

Never mind ...

I'd skipped a step. oops.

What was the step you missed, as I'm having very similar problems with gcc.

Ta,

I´m experiencing the same problem now, and I didn´t missed any steps so far.
It looks like a bug similar to bug 1805 ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1805 )
See also this post ( https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=1295 )

any help appreciated, Arnold

Helps if you install the c++ compiler before trying to use it.
