 Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2013 9:25 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] gcc won't upgrade to 4.6 after successful emerge |
 |
|
Hi everyone. Here is my predicament: I'm trying to get gcc >= 4.6 (currently the one available is 4.6.3) for the C++11 feeatures. Anyway, it appears that I have it installed, but when I run `gcc --version`, I don't get the right one. Here's the details:
This is the output I get from `emerge -s gcc` (minus the boring bits):
| Code: |
* sys-devel/gcc
Latest version available: 4.6.3
Latest version installed: 4.6.3
Size of files: 70,355 kB
Homepage: http://gcc.gnu.org/
Description: The GNU Compiler Collection
License: GPL-3+ LGPL-3+ || ( GPL-3+ libgcc libstdc++ gcc-runtime-library-exception-3.1 ) FDL-1.3+
|
and this is what I get when I do `gcc --version`:
| Code: |
gcc (Gentoo 4.5.4 p1.0, pie-0.4.7) 4.5.4

I also looked for an eselect switch, but couldn't find one for gcc. Is there some environment variable or something I'm missing? Any help would be awesome  Thanks in advance!!!

I actually have the handbook printed out >< I'm just a noob - this is my first time getting into the nitty gritty of gnu/linux. Thanks again for the help, though. On a side note, do you have any experience with pkg-config? I've installed a few pkg-config compatible libraries, but pkg-config doesn't see them.

Hmmm ... the link I provided is to Gentoo documentation, useful after installation.
Now, what do you mean by installing libraries? If you install something by hand (discouraged, you should do it Gentoo way) you have to run ldconfig.

Yeah that seems really difficult. I'm trying to compile and install this one program I found on the 'net (it's called ingen: http://drobilla.net/software/ingen/). The issue is that it uses a bleeding-edge edition of lv2 (1.4.1), while portage only provides 1.4.0. So I had to compile it from source and install it.
The problem is that ingen uses pkg-config to locate and link against libraries found in the system, yet pkg-config isn't working correctly. It's not finding the file that describes where lv2's .so's are, even though it's containing folder is in it's config path. I think it's a problem for a separate thread to be honest Thanks for the help though!!
