[gentoo-dev] gcc3.2.2 ate portage and others

[gentoo-dev] gcc3.2.2 ate portage and others

[oford]

Went from gcc3.2 to 3.2.2.

Noticed that gnome-panel was not clearing closed windows.
Killed X and it restarted but put me in error message hell. Nothing
would work.
Tried to emerge gcc3.2 and got this...
"python: unable to load libstdc++.so.5"

I am now through being angry and kicking myself.  I just want things to
work again ;)

Any hints would be nice.

./Owen

Hey Owen keep cool,

this is a bug of course, a bug that looks fat and dangerous, but this
will be easily resolved.

I don't know about the gentoo problem here.

What is obvious though, is that you have a problem loading some
libraries that live in the private directory of gcc.

On my architecture this directory is named:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2

This directory takes a line in
/etc/ld.so.conf
too !

What you can do is :

1. To get things running only in the current shell (works as user too!):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. To get this running in the whole system (works only as root):
echo "/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2">> ld.so.conf
ldconfig

If you have more problems, feel free to contact me directly.

NOTE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER ARCHITECTURE ! MINE IS
i686-pc-linux-gnu

You can find out about this directory by:
gcc -v
which emits:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2/specs

This specs directory is the same as the libraries should live in.

I hope this gets your system running smooth again.

BYE INGO

Doing an 

# env-update

as root should fix it.

Failing that, as root try the following

# gcc-config --list-profiles
which will tell you which gcc version you have, then
# gcc-config <version reported above>
# env-update

he lol, i had this bug, too

its already in bugs.gentoo.org, bug #15288

and env-update wont work until further workarounds doe to
python needing libstdc++.so.5 >:>>>>

i think gcc-config not working is what causes the bug in the first,
so i would be really interested in what happens here ;-)

[oford]

I had to manually edit /etc/ld.so.conf and change the version number.
Then ldconfig
all as root.

Then I had to recompile my kernel and nvidia drivers since the compiler
version was different (the nvidia module was altogether unhappy with
having a new compiler around).  

Easy as pie. Kinda bothered that I didn't figure it out by myself...
live and learn.
 
And FYI all that "distress" in the original post was sarcasm.  Gentoo is
a big adventure and that is why many of us love it.  Fixing things is
much more entertaining than watching them work right every time ;)

Ingo: Thanks for the help.  All I needed was a push in the right
direction :)

But yeah...
