Help!

I tried to update from 2006.0 to 2006.1 and gcc 4.
In the middle of emerge -e system the system started to complain with messages like:

Code: Select all

libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.4) missing

Emerging glibc did not work: unrar did not work because of the missing libc., emerge does not work at all now.

Any idea how to solve this?

There was no need to update from 2006.0 to 2006.1 in the first place... When you did an emerge -Du world you would have had the 2006.1 but that won't help you now.

Don't know how far you came but you might check out gcc-config. You might need to change the versionnumber with that program. All of this is described in a manual about migrating GCC on the Gentoo site btw. Sorry for being lacy and not posting the link here. You'll be able to find it under docs.

I did emerge -Du world.
Before I switched the make.profile to 2006.1 (sorry, I was not clear about that).

First I upgraded chrooted P4 on a AMD64 machine, just followed the doc's. no problems.

After this I tried to upgrade my P4-laptop with the precompiled packages, then it happened... libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.4) missing.

gcc-config is OK: set to GCC-4.1.1.

Now I am looking for a possibility to repair my libc file(s).

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Portage & Programming.
Upgrade, not installation. So moved here.

ok. sorry about wrong forum niksnut.

Got my system running with a quick and dirty solution:
1. boot with rescuecd
2. mv /lib/tls to /root (not sure if this really helped), delete after reboot
3. copied content of precompiled glibc-2.4 to the correct directories

After this reboot and gentoo is up and running!

Thanks all for your input.[/code]
