Upgrading your system to gcc 3.4(.4)

Im upgrading gcc using emerge -e method. During the "emerge -e system" i had errors while compiling this packages and move on using "emerge --resume --skipfirst":

The tutorial dont say anything about what to do with this packages. What should i do? emerge -e each one of the packages? or just forget about it?

acfreeman was right! I did a memtest and got error on the first 10 minutes. I had a bad ram module here. I put it aside, and i will try reinstall everything from the beggining. Tks a lot acfreeman! I never tought bad memory could be the problem!
Just another little question here:
When i did emerge -e system i compiled 79 packages. When i did emerge -e world i compiled all the 79 packages again (including gcc 3.4.4) plus the packages in the world file.
Is this normal or it was my crazy system fault?
If its normal, seems a little pointless compile the same packages twice. There is a safe way to avoid this "recompile"?

I followed the upgrade guide:

Hi

Perhaps that would help:

#emerge --sync
(that gets you the last list of packages )
#emerge portage
(updates your portage, badly needed )
#emerge gcc
(will try to update your gcc, to ver 3.4.5 )

if unsuccesful, you may try to install a working gcc fom cdrom (binay package ),
even if isn't optimized for your computer, should do the trick.

May also be the case that you have a hardware problem (overclocked cpu/memory ) that
generates bad instructions. You can try memtest86 from the gentoo boot cdrom to discard it.

Albert.

I just re-instaled my system. After that I was moving to gcc 3.4, but I was tired, and I removed gcc 3.3.6 before compiling everything again. Now I cannot use emerge or env-update. I tried to unpack gcc-3.3.4-r1 but that didn't help. Is there another way to fix that without re-instaling everything?

Or... Isn`t it easier to re-install from stage1 (or 2) using gcc-3.4??? I noticed it says stage1 isn`t supported anymore (on gentoo handbook)... Is there an old handbook to install from stage1? I just need a list of things to do, so I don't get lost in the process. Which stage should I install to use gcc-3.4: stage1 or stage2?

BTW: I'm starting to hate links when using these forums.

I am also having problems.

I have made some progress but I keep getting stuck on the same old thing.

The pcmcia-cs problem I know is around, but least of my concerns as I do not need a pcmcia device right now but to just have a functianal system from in which I can work on would be great.....

here is where I posted.....

Scorpion265 · Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2006 10:14 pm Post subject: I royally screwed up

Ok, I really never pay attention to what is going on in the gentoo world, except that my php, apache, and mysql work for my dev box. I recently emerge --world to update everything, and it updated gcc etc. I then did an emerge --prune, checked to make sure there was a newer version present, and let it loose. I didn't realise the major update to gcc would bork my system, nor did it tell me there were specific directions I needed to follow to get things working right (this is a major fuckup in my opinion by the gentoo devs). I am now stuck with this error every time I try to use emerge:

/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have searched high and low, but I can't find anything that relates to this exact problem. I fixed gcc so that it's using the right profile with gcc-config:

gcc-config -l
[1] i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4 *
[2] i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardened
[3] i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopie
[4] i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednopiessp
[5] i386-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4-hardenednossp

I guess I just need to update python so it's looking for libstdc++.so.6, I think... I hope that's all I need to do.

Just a quick gripe.. if you are going to do an update like this, and have specific instructions for us to follow for updating to gcc 3.4.4, you should have blinking red warnings. I rarely pay attention to what is said during an emerge because it generally doesn't pretain to what I am doing/my skill level. I don't have a solid understanding of how gcc works, so I didn't know this would happen. I also rarely check the forums unless I need help with something else. I don't intend on reading the forums all the time either, it's a general waste of time for me. Please, please, please put in a warning system for things like this :-/
