[mostly fixed] gcc 3.4.3 r1 fails in emerge --update world

[Xoder]

Here's the tail end of my emerge output:

To my eyes, its failing in the multilib section, which has been on for this entire time. gcc --version puts out

Code: Select all

# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2  (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r2, ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5)

And because there is no such thing as too much documentation:

Code: Select all

# emerge -av --update world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Help please. Thanks.

EDIT: 17:14 EST 2004-02-18: Found the fix, scroll down yourself, however, there are many who do not have success with the fix

[zueda]

I'm getting the exact error to!

Anybody know how to fix or a work around. I thought I saw somewhere to fix a similar looking error to add -multilib in the USE flags. Is this the correct way?

[Xoder]

... add -multilib in the USE flags. Is this the correct way?

I highly doubt that fixes it because removing mutlilib will break a whole host of things according to the AMD64 technotes, such as Java (sun's anyways), grub (non-statically built), and makes OpenOffice uninstallable.

[dagol]

Exact same problem on a fresh amd64 installation, on rebooting, logging in as root, and giving "emerge -Dua world"

...Notice that "See config.log" line? That file lives somewhere in the 'PORTAGE_TMPDIR', which by default is /var/tmp/portage/. If you haven't changed it in your /etc/make.conf, try this command to find it:-

Code: Select all

find /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.4.3-r1 -iname '*config*'

...And once located, have a read & see if the more precise error description found there makes any more sense to you. If it doesn't, post it here for the perusal of the masses...

EDIT: Looks like someone's found a solution while i've been typing, but i thought i'd post this anyway, as that 'config.log' file has saved me from scouring the forums on more than one occassion.

Thanks. I managed to find the config.log file before posting, and it provided no extra info. I am currently applying the fix labelled above.

Again, thanks to everyone!8)

[dagol]

Many thanks Zueda, gcc compiled successfully!!
Now onto the rest of the system...

[Xoder]

# FEATURES="-sandbox" USE="multilib" emerge gcc portage

worked for me, even though multilib is already enabled...

from: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72379#c12

[dagol]

So, apparently I was too optimistic earlier... I've got nothing but headaches with this, saw the bug reports listed elsewhere, but nothing lists a fix for this problem.

[pgolik]

Had the same problem installing stage1 with recent portage. Here's what I did (I have multilib and nptl already in make.conf):

Code: Select all

FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge gcc
env-update
source /etc/profile
gcc --version

And make sure it shows the newly compiled version (3.4.3-r1).
Then

Code: Select all

emerge portage

At that point, however, bootstrap still tried to emerge gcc and failed. So I repeated the above steps (just in case) an then I edited bootstrap.sh and commented out the line that read:

Code: Select all

${V_ECHO} emerge ${STRAP_EMERGE_OPTS} ${myGCC} || cleanup 1

and ran bootstrap.sh
This went fine, after that I could emerge system witout a hitch.
Hope this helps.
BTW: A rant: installing gentoo/amd64 from stage 1 is now seriously broken and following the documentation to the letter gives the problems mentioned in this thread. This is very bad and I'm shocked that the devs are not trying to fix is ASAP. It's a showstopper bug that is likely to drive a newcomer away from gentoo for good!!

It almost drove me away. I ended up re-installing from stage 3, and now have other fish to fry

[Inexus]

I'm a newcomer,and I don't run away,I've decided to install my gentoo with stage 2,and when the problem will be fixed,I hope it's possible to do the bootstrap a this time...Anyway I'm sure I wouldn't configure it well to have optimisation(i suppose that's the parameters that optimize are in the use variable,..and I don't know very good how to configure it...)

[dagol]

Alright I've been running into this problem repeatedly, and there seem to be 4 or 5 different fixes for it. One I haven't seen so far is (maybe?) specifically related to my situation.

I tried installing a stage 3 amd 64 gentoo 2004.3 (not the current 2004.3-r1 on mirrors, that one doesn't do my hardware neatly... anyway)

I reinstalled following the install guides 4 times and kept running into variations of this problem.

Long story short, I emerged :
emul-linux-x86-baselibs
emul-linux-x86-compat
emul-linux-x86-glibc

and re-emerged gcc (with FEATURES="-sandbox" USE="multilib" of course) and it SUCCEEDED!! FINALLY!

So now I'm emerging xorg, the last test will be if it allows me to emerge and run openoffice-bin...

EDIT : No sandbox.

DAMNIT. it's official. i'm pissed.

[maiku]

Yeah I'm having some pretty rotten luck with it myself. Even when I do emerge GCC and re-emerge it I have to FEATURES="-sandbox" each time. I re-emerge portage after a quick env-update and source /etc/profile but nothing changes.

[NeoCORE]

having the same problem myself...

[maiku]

My problem seems to have disappeared when upgrading to 2005.0. Use these directions to do so: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd6 ... -amd64.xml . I hope it fixes everybody else's problem as well.

[nxsty]

This problem is fixed now. Just sync and re-emerge portage and it should build a working 32 bit sandbox.
