[gentoo-laptop] problem with glibc update

[maillists]

Hi,

I can't seem to get past a problem with updating glibc. This is on an
old powerbook (500Mhz G3 pismo)

When I try to "emerge -auvDN glibc" here is were it leaves me:

...

What should I do?

I think you first need to update to gcc4.

Hi Thanks, but I do have sys-devel/gcc version 4.1.1-r1.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

thanks

You probably have it but is it configured? What does "gcc-config -c" tell
you? You may need to turn it on. You'll need to find the gcc upgrade docs if
you go from 3.4 to 4.1.

Check that you're actually using gcc4:
     gcc-config -c

Next, let's see what USE flags are in play
    emerge -pv sys-devlgcc sys-libs/glibc

Thanks! I now am really using gcc4! but I am still not out of the hot
water.

Now I get what seems to be a permissions error...

Here is my emerge...

thor rbragg # emerge -auvDN system
emergelog(): [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/var/log/emerge.log'

The "/var/log/emerge.log" file is owned by portage.portage, and mode is
ug+rw.
and the "/var/lib/portage/world" file is owned by root.root with u+rw
and go+r
I am running my emerge as root of course...
It seems that I can't even chown the would file.

I tried this:
thor rbragg # chown root.portage /var/lib/portage/world
chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/portage/world': Read-only file
system


thanks again!

It seems like your file system is mounted read only.  What is the output
of mount for the file system that the file is on?  Is the mount option
ro, or rw?

wow your right, I can't even do a "touch"!

That seems drastic, how might that have happened? when I started, I did
an emerge -auvDN system, and had to unmerge pam-login because it was
blocking many things. now I don't want to log out or reboot because I
will not be able to get back in!

Is there a way I can remount or fix this without logging out or
re-booting?

I started a new thread called "emerge broken after update gcc" 

Thanks
rick

Try:
    mount -o remount,rw filesystemname
where filesystemname is generally /var unless you're running one
partition in which case it's just /.
