[gentoo-user] error when emerge -e system && etc-update && source /etc/profile

[yance_kowara]

Hi all,

I am a gentoo noob. When I run the command emerge -e system && etc-update
&& source /etc/profile, the make reported the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory
`/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4.20050319/work/narrowc/c++'

I am installing Gentoo using Knoppix 3.6 live CD. I can't use Gentoo
CD/DVD to bootup the system because it set the wrong screen resolution,
i.e the LCD only shows "out of range" error.

The box is an old Celeron 667Mhz.

Any pointer appreciated.

Thank you.

If your MAKEOPTS setting is to large it can lead to "No such file or directory" errors.  MAKEOPTS="-j1" is always safe.

As a side note, I'd recommend a lower level of optimization such as -02 or -Os.

Maybe you can use the gentoo-nofb option or pick a different VGA vesa mode before boot.

The error is that 'gcc' is missing from the beginning of the compile
line. Difficult to say why that's happened, but I guess it has to do
with it being a Knoppix system. You might consider starting from a
different stage tarball.
