[gentoo-user] Can't emerge sandbox

[gentoo-user] Can't emerge sandbox

[Peter Humphrey]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 890 bytes --]

Hello,

Recent versions of portage have suggested an emerge -e world, so I thought 
I'd try it. It got as far as sandbox, which failed with the once-common "C 
compiler cannot create executables" error. Of course I 
tried "FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox" but that failed with the same 
error.

I wondered what is set wrongly in my environment, so I booted a minimal 
installation CD and chrooted into the system, but with the same result.

Can anyone suggest where my problem might lie? I've attached the log file. 
I'm confused by the apparent references in it to the cross-compiler. Google 
seems to have only old references.

This is a dual-Opteron box with a mostly-amd64 setup - only a few packages 
are ~amd64. I'm also running an emerge -eq world on another amd64 box, 
which has had no problem with sandbox. Same versions of portage and sandbox 
on both machines.

The lines
configure:2292: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=opteron -O2 -pipe   conftest.c  >&5
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory

look like a misconfigured gcc.

Can you emerge any package which requires the C-compiler?
Try 
gcc-config -l
and look which gcc is selected and if you can select a different one.
Then - with this one selected - reemerge the probably newer 
version of gcc which was broken.

I hope this helps,
Helmut.

That was it.

$ gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 *

 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *

$ qfile i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2
cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc (/etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2)

I did have the cross-compiler stuff installed when I was experimenting with 
distcc, but I removed it long ago. Looks like something hung on.

A simple emerge -C cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc corrected the problem, as 
now:

$ gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *

...and emerge -q1 sandbox runs to completion. I still don't know though why 
only sandbox was affected - 21 other packages were merged ok.

> I hope this helps,

Certainly did - thanks. Now to figure out how to resume the emerge -e world 
from where it stopped :-)

Thanks also to the others who offered help.

emerge --resume

Single package emerges don't affect the resume list.

Do PAL taglines take up two scanlines?

Try this syntax:

FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge sandbox

Also, do you have userpriv in your portage FEATURES?  May need to remove it 
too for this purpose.

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such
file or directory

Could you try
locate crt1.o
?

By the way, why are you using gcc 4.2? I would either stick with the
stable gcc 4.1 or use gcc 4.3 (which is used by a number of recent
distributions, is used even in Debian Lenny - which should be released
shortly - and has a number of improvements)
