Hi!

I tried upgrading my Gentoo from 2004.3 to 2005 multilib with the update script, but my gentoo got messed up.
After reading a lot in the forums und trying some things it got worse. So i decided to switch the profile to nomultilib,
and unmerged all my 32bit apps. Now all 64 bit things work fine, wich is more than before.

But how can i switch back to multilib, the only way in found was withe the 2004.3 profile, wich no longer exists...

I love Gentoo but this update drives me crazy...

Thanks to all readers and replyers

if i've got everything right, you are on 2005.0 nomultilib profile...?
in such case AFAIK you only have to switch to multilib profile and then: emerge -e system...

I have tried, but with no succes. I get an error while ./config is running from
glibc. Cannot compute size of ... 77

Found a hint in the guide
Quote:

Can't find libc.so
Something is messed up with your installed emul-linux-x86-glibc.
Follow these steps:
# rm -rf /lib32 /usr/lib32
# rm /etc/make.profile
# ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2004.3 /etc/make.profile Or 2003.4/lib64 if that was your original profile
# emerge --sync You need a portage snapshot from atleast July 12, 2200 UTC
# emerge -v --oneshot '>=emul-linux-x86-glibc-2.3.4.20041102'

If using the scripted upgrade:
# rm /var/tmp/2005.0_upgrade/step[34]
# cd /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0/scripts
# sh ./2004.3-2005.0upgrade.sh

If using the manual upgrade:
Continue from the codeblock where you remove the /lib32 and /usr/lib32 symlinks.

Can't find libsandbox.so
You probably don't have a multilib sandbox or portage. The easiest
way around this is to use FEATURES=-sandbox for the duration of the
upgrade, then emerge portage and sandbox after completion.

./conftest: cannot execute binary file
You probably need to enable support for 32bit executables in your
kernel.

but, can't follow solution one because of there isn't the 2004.3 profile any more and i haven't any emul-x installed.
FEATURES=-sandbox results in the same error:
Fchecking size of long double... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77EATURES=-sandbox
And my Kernel is already configured with the IA32 Flag set to yes.

The Problem is that all Tips include to go back to the 2004.3 Profile and this is gone...

There musst be another way from 2005.0 no-mulitlib to 2005.0 multilib ?!
