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

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating system dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r4 [2.3.5-r3] USE="nls nptl nptlonly*

...bla-bla-bla...

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

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!
