I'm new to Gentoo (but not to Linux) and I'm installing on a nonstandard architecture but hopefully a wizard will be able to help me. I'm trying to get a basic installation on a sun server with the sparc64 architecture and I have followed the sparc install guide up to the poing where you run
Code:
emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world
Every time it fails when compling python. The only things that I have done differently from the handbook are that as I am on a low baud serial console I have run emerge with "--quiet" instead of "--verbose", and I have changed the profile before running emerge to "default/linux/sparc/17.0/64ul" for 64-bit userland. I have looked in the build.log and the only problem that I can find is something about an "ffi.h" header file but I don't know where to go from there. I am under the impression that this isn't related to the fact that I'm on sparc but I really don't know. Thanks in advance because I have no idea what I'm doing.

build.log : https://pastebin.com/EdEN4jKE
emerge --info '=dev-lang/python-3.9.1-r1::gentoo' : https://pastebin.com/d2s2GfSS
emerge -pqv '=dev-lang/python-3.9.1-r1::gentoo' : https://pastebin.com/r2seApUw
uname -a :
Code:
Linux livecd 5.4.80-gentoo-r1-sparc64 #2 SMP Mon Mar 8 13:34:42 UTC 2021 sparc64 sun4v UltraSparc T3 (Niagara3) GNU/Linux

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on Sparc.

Code:
checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... no
That looks like it will be a problem, and based on later output, may be your most immediate problem. Much farther down, we see:
Code:
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/9.3.0/../../../../sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/9.3.0/../../../../sparc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
So the questions then are (1) why is Python trying to use OpenSSL after its configure script determined that will not work, and (2) why does that not work? A working OpenSSL (or equivalent) is mandatory on general purpose systems. What is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose dev-libs/openssl?

Okay, I'm an idiot. I used the 32-bit stage3 tarball instead of the 64-bit one. I have now emerged with no issues. Sorry for wasting anybody's time.

If as a result of this thread, you learned how to better diagnose failures (such as by trying to answer the questions I posed above), then the thread was not a waste of time. :) Even if you did not improve your skills, this thread may yet serve as an aid to future readers, since you wrote in the first post that you used a 64-bit profile, and you mentioned in your follow-up that you incorrectly mixed in 32-bit code and that this was the cause of the problem. Perhaps someone else will make the same mistake, find your thread, and solve their problem more quickly as a result.
