I start to emerge "world" or "system" and I get this problem when emerging sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1 Everything else goes fine but when I get here... I finnished.....

Surely someone can help? I love gentoo but it seems like everytime it comes to updates something breaks.

Stick to stable packages and it shouldn't happen...

check your flags in the make.conf file, there is a issue like miss spelling or a return or even something there that doesnt excist as a flag command

So you tried it 3 times and failed all of them?
You must be very talented

does gcc-4.1.1 support pentium2 processors? here is my make.conf

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
#GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/"
SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

#cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep flags|head -n 1
USE="fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr"
#P4 cpu flags are "acpi mmx sse sse2"
#USE="nptl nptlonly acpi mmx sse sse2 a52 aac aalib alsa  cdb cdr dedicated dvd dvdr ftp gtk2 icc ieee1394"
#use when compiling mplayer: divx4linux xvid quicktime4linux realplayer win32codecs
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1"

First few complies I was using: #USE="nptl nptlonly acpi mmx sse sse2 a52 aac aalib alsa cdb cdr dedicated dvd dvdr ftp gtk2 icc ieee1394"

but then I did: cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep flags|head -n 1

and it gave me: flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr

So I tried those and that got me the same error..

Something doesn't quite add up here.

Can you post the output of "gcc-config -l" ?

Why on earth do you have the cpu flags from proc in your USE flags?

eyexer0 · Post by **eyexer0** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 3:27 am

I don't know do I not need them there? I thought that is where they went?

No you don't need them there. The problem seems to be your current system running i686 but you want it to run i386.

ok I got that fixed now I got a new problem

Here is my make.conf

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
#GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/"

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"

When I try and emerge kde

I get this error on: media-libs/jpeg-6b-r7

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/libtool: line 5966: i386-pc-linux-gnu-ar: command not found

Im not totally sure but I believe you cant just change CHOST, you'll have to start from scratch (reinstall) and use the proper stage3 file.

eyexer0 · Post by **eyexer0** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 10:28 pm

I fixed it by re-emergeing libtool but I decided to go ahead and start over since I had the wrong make.conf that way I don't run into problems.
