 |
|
I'm doing a new installation using stage3-i686-20121213.tar.bz2 and after getting it the bootable did the following:
| Code: | ># emerge --sync
># :
># emerge -avuND
># :
># emerge -ac
># :
># revdep-rebuild
|
The --depclean phase (-ac) asked to remove nano and the old version of gcc, which I accepted. I then rebooted and tried to re-emerge nano, which failed saying:
| Code: | phase-helpers.sh, line 518: called die
The specific snippet of code:
die "econf failed" |
The same thing happened when compiling xorg-server during the libdrm build. Could someone please point to the error in this procedure?

52midnight,
emerge it again and wgetpaste the the log. That will help more than just those three lines.
The error should point you to the location of the log file.

Done: http://bpaste.net/show/84212
Note the line: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
It recommends consulting 'config.log' which says:
| Code: | * gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!
gcc-config: error: could not run/locate 'i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc' |
This seems to suggest that I should have left both the old gcc and nano on the system. So why run --depclean? |

52midnight,
Try
then
| Code: | laptop bill # gcc-config -l
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.6.3 *
|
and see if it lists the compiler like above

| Well, you're a genius, Doctor. Results as you predicted, and 'nano' has just compiled. Thanks again! |
