[gentoo-user] Problems emerging gcc.

[gentoo-user] Problems emerging gcc.

[David Harel]

Hi,


Trying to emerge glibc I got error:

configure: error:

*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc

 *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.


I upgraded gcc to 4.1.1-r3. apparently I have more versions of gcc 
installed.

Questions:

    1. What to do to fix glibc emerge?

    2. Where is the file INSTALL reside?

    2. Do I need all the older versions of gcc?

-- 
Thanks

Have you tried "gcc-config"? May be it would help in this case by
switching to more recent version.


P.S.
Otherwise you'll have to send additional info about your system in order
to get more sensible and/or helpful replies.

Probably change to a newer version of gcc.  Perhaps the output of 
`gcc-config -l` would be useful here.

In the glibc tarball.  emerge will have extracted that somewhere 
under /var/tmp/portage (or wherever your PORTAGE_TMPDIR is).

No.  (Or, probably not.)

Assuming you upgraded from gcc 3.x you do need to follow the gcc upgrade 
guide...
