[gentoo-dev] Portage can't find gcc

Hi All,

I have a gentoo 1.4 server that I left running for a while (many
months) without a rsync or update for a while due to having some
broken libraries.  I fixed the libs, managed to get an rsync to work
and then did an emerge -u world which seemed to work fine until it
updated gcc (i think, but this seems like the most obvious problem).

I figure it's an environment problem as I was having problems with not
being able to find libstdc++, which was solved by adding the
appropriate directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well.

Now it looks like the environment is out of whack or else portage
ignore environment settings as I went through and manually inserted
the paths in /etc/env.d/gcc/ and can run gcc from the command line,
but whenever I try to emerge I get an error about not being able to
find gcc.

Are the paths or environment specified differently for portage or is
there something else I have to manually update to get this working
again?

Try: gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.2

Its a known bug, look in bugzilla about gcc (dunno the bug id anymore) theres a workaround to fix

the reason is gcc-config being installed but not there.
how that comes i dunno,

after having portage working again, re-emerge gcc-config and then gcc,
or you will have future problems ( had this on 2 systems)

the short time workaround is to save /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1 to somewhat else and link the 3.2.1 dir to 3.2.2.
emerge will then work again, to re-emerge gcc-config and gcc but dont forget to erase the link and copy the old dir back.
some old progs may need the .so s there ;)


have fun
