{PHP 4.4.9 --Emerge} C++ compiler cannot create executables

[yodi]

Hey there, I'm having a few problems installing PHP, never had this one before...

The error that occurs is

Code: Select all

 checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ -O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -L/usr/lib -ldb-4.1  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ltiff -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/server -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/server -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.

!!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.3.9 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 449, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
 

Searching the forum points to my compile flags but as you can see from below :

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer"

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

they seem fine and ever other package has compiled fine.

The only odd thing in the error message is the use of Sun Java 1.5.0 but this is down to the fact that I need to use the latest version for my development work so it's just about one of the only packages compiled with ACCECPT_KEYWORDS set.

My processor is a Athlon xp so that can't be it, I have no knowledge of any memeory trouble on my computer as things seem stable enough and the computer runs fine (apart from this odd compile error).

Any run into this or think they know of a solution?

[Gentree]

It's not actually using sun-java it seems to be just pulling in the path elements containing this.

I presume this corresponds with echo $PATH on your machine.

As a hack test I just cut & pasted from your post to my command line and got this.

Code: Select all

g++ -O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -L/usr/lib -ldb-4.1  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ltiff -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/server -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/server -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start':

Do you see different?

[yodi]

Firstly thank you for your reply,

I get exactly the same output from running the output from the error message, just for refence I have copied and pasted that output from my shell ::

Code: Select all

g++ -O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -L/usr/lib -ldb-4.1  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -ltiff -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/server -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/server -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -Wl,-rpath,/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 -L/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib

: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have also added the following to /etc/portage/package.keywords if this helps ::

Code: Select all

x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86
sys-devel/gcc ~x86
sys-libs/glibc ~x86
net-www/mozilla-firefox ~x86
media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86
media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
media-video/xine-ui ~x86

dev-java/sun-jdk ~x86
sys-libs/libstdc++ ~x86
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 ~x86
media-libs/win32codecs ~x86

They are just about the only things that I would really think I require using untested (unstable) ebuilds of.

I too am having the same problem with emerging php.
I had it installed and working fine and then I unmerged x11 because for whatever reason I had forgotten to specify a USE flag of "-X" and it compiled and installed X11 as well. This caused a problem and in following the forums, I tried unmerging and emerging php. Unfortunatly I have been recieving the same C++ error every time since then.

Code: Select all

error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. 

Per another post I remerged glibc. I have not seen any success. Perhaps someone with a greater understanding could shed some light on this issue?

[gentsquash]

Does

Code: Select all

gcc --version

show 3.3.4 or 3.3.5 or something else? If the pkgs you compile
are looking for a different version of `gcc', then perhaps these

I tried to create a cross-compilation environment last night for an i586 on my i686 box and now every time I try to emerge anything I get this errror:

It's effecting the system even outside the cross-compilation environment. Here's some info:

Some extra information I forgot to add:

I sent a question about this error into the gentoo-user list last night and got a reply that suggested that I create a simple C program and try to compile it. I created a simple Hello World program in C and tried to compile it:

camille ~ # gcc hello.c gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory

I did "equery belongs as":

cross-i586-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-2.16.1 (/usr/i586-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/as)

I suspect that the "as" it wants it the binutils one:

camille ~ # /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/as
-bash: /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/as: No such file or directory

However I can't rebuild binutils because gcc isn't working. Is there a way to rebuild binutils without using gcc?

[jmp_]

I think the problem is binutils, an incorrect version is referenced, you should create or fix the symlinks... try to emerge a new binutils version if possible.

Look at this, I solved this problem before:

Anyway commands are international :P

Creo que ya está solucionado.

He estado mirando /etc/env.d y la jerarquía de /usr/lib && /usr/i686-bla-bla y he visto que al parecer era algo relacionado con binutils.
Código:

$ binutils-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1

Esa era la versión actual, pero al parecer había varias menciones a "2.16" de manera que he creado un enlace simbólico en:
Código:

$ pwd
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin


Corrigiendo el problema con el número de versión (ln -s 2.16.1 2.16):
Código:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   6 Oct  2 22:11 2.16 -> 2.16.1

greetings.

Yeah, it was binutils that had missed to update some symlinks for me as well, on two installs it did the same thing

where (as you can see) pointing to /usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.18 and i had to point them to /usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.19.1

on another note, all of awk, gawk, nawk igawk and pgawk links was also pointing to the wrong version for me
and some other files got removed (/sbin/functions.sh amongst others)

and all problems happened DURING binutils emerge...
