[gentoo-dev] distcc

[gentoo-dev] distcc

[MAL]

This is a solved problem, but I thought i'd share it with you.

On my machine at least, distccd, (which was running as nobody), wasn't 
getting the path to gcc, (as provided by sourcing /etc/profile.env).

This was resulting in remote compiles failing with: 'gcc: command not 
found'.

This happens because distcc isn't being run in a login shell by 
start-stop-daemon, and so /etc/profule isn't sourced, (as it is when you 
login).  On a side note, suing to root, didn't give me gcc either... I 
had to add '. /etc/profile' to my root's .bashrc.

Anyway, to fix this I simply added '. /etc/profile' to 
/etc/init.d/distccd, just before it starts distccd.

These dynamically pathed gcc's have caused me so many problems :/

This has been fixed in the newer releases of distcc (1.0 and above) by
calling gcc-config --get-bin-path. 1.0 and 1.1 are both in ~x86 due to
the stable portage freeze, but work fine.

Yes, I know why.. thus my adding to .bashrc. Remembering to type su - 
every time to login, is not a solution, it's an additional problem.

headaches you describe) and it hasn't bothered me since.

Why ?  It works fine form me and is an space and one char extra.  Else
feel free to add hacks to .bashrc.
