emerge libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6 failing

[mjs]

I've unmasked libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6, but it fails with the following errors:

>>> Install libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6 into /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6/image/ category sys-libs

Any ideas?

I've verified that this path does exist: "/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-bin-3.3.6/work/"

Just for fun I slapped this out too. Result the same... More info at the end.....
There nada in that directory.

(furthermore, isn't that supposed to be a binary with the -bin ???? I had to wait for the thing to compile)

[mjs]

Yeah, the directory exists, but is empty. I don't think it actually compiled anything from what I could see. I think it's supposed to just extract and copy, but there's nothing to copy.

[Carsomyr]

Perhaps it is masked for a reason?

Why not just compile the normal package, which is not masked?

[guruvan]

it's masked by arch - not hard masked. (but a good question, why not just build it.
(wasn't thinking, of course the deps weren't satisfied in my testbed - those compiled.)

Its masked by keyword ** (at least on x86), and not by ~x86. This means it's not supported on the architecture (I think).

As its a binary package it makes sense that theres nothing there in that case.

After unmasking it and running emerge the first time I get a download size of 0kb, which seems to indicate there is nothing there.

Just do

[mjs]

[mjs]

Yeah, that works fine. I'm a doofus

[Carsomyr]

I kept trying to compile gcc-3.3.6 itself to get it. That didn't work either, so your not the only one

[guruvan]

just


emerge --oneshot libstdc++-v3

(with out the bin) and that should get you a good valid set of libraries. (it will explode the gcc-3.3.6 packge to /var/tmp/portage, and then just build what you want.

This doesn't work for me...
