I had this same problem while installing it for a friend. You need to get the kernel sources for the 2.4 series and make the /usr/src/linux sym link link to them. I am currently using the version you people are having trouble installing, and I was using the 2.4.22 kernel at the time. So do this:

[As root]
emerge gentoo-sources
cd /usr/src
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.4.22-gentoo-rc7 (or whatever other 2.4 series kernel sources you have in there)
emerge xfree

That should work. If not, I'm confuzzled.

I didn't say to compile and use the kernel, I just meant to do what you want to do and make a /usr/src/linux sym link to the 2.4.xx source.

i think i'll try to go with gcc-3.3.3 since it is clear that this is a bug with gcc-3.2.3

any tips is needed plz before installing the new gcc

if you don't want to go to the new gcc, all you have to do is downgrade ncurses.

i wish to upadte to the new gcc
but i am afraid of unstability and errors

can anyone using the gcc 3.3.3 give me a little info about its performance ( bug, errors)

my probelm with Xfree is related to the glxinfo not to ncurses or anything else

i have tried all the solutions on the forum including downgrading of ncurses and other but nothing worked for me

cause my problem is as i said before related to the glxinfo not to anything else

i have noticed that when i run glxinfo or glxgear i got that error

SaFrOuT · Apprentice Joined: 08 Jul 2003 Posts: 256 Location: Egypt

i am trying now another solution i thought about
i have disabled the DRI module in the kernel and i am using the normal module only now for my card
and i have booted
now glxinfo and glxgear is working fine

so i will try to emerge xfree now and see

and i think it will work cause i think the problem is with the DRI module in the kernel (2.6.3-love3) for i845 with DRI support

does anyone have any idea about the cause of that clash with this module although it is the recommended one for my card

EDIT: and it didn't work also

don't worry about the warning line.

the issue is it can't find parts of the libstdc++ to link into the executable it's trying to build.

usually that means you need to emerge gcc or glibc again. (there is a bug right now where if you update glibc then you need to emerge your gcc again so it all matches up).

I wouldn't be afraid of updating to gcc 3.3 (the one with the x86 KEYWORD anyway). the only issue you would have is that distcc with some machines running 3.2 and some running 3.3 is problematic (i.e., emerges will fail). but if you're not using distcc there's probably nothing to worry about.

So I would say go ahead and emerge the stable gcc 3.3 then try xfree again.
