I was installing an application gimp and all of a sudden I got an error:

Now, emerge / equery  will not even show up on a command line.
Most of the time I'm getting an error:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Running on my other system I get:
equery b libstdc++.so.6
 * Searching for libstdc++.so.6 ... 
sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4 (/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.4/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.14)

env-update - doesn't work either

I've tried to bootstrap the system and re-install "gcc" but I can not even do "env-update" after running: chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

I ran into this and I think I ran this:

gcc-config -l

And make sure a compiler is selected.  If not, do gcc-config <number of
one you want to use>  Usually that is the highest one but could depend. 
Either way, one should have a "*" by it like this on mine:

root@fireball / # gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.7.3 *
root@fireball / # 

I hope that helps, if not, I'm sure other ideas will come along soon.

I tried to set blindly gcc to active one: "gcc-config 1" but I get the same error 

 * gcc-config: Could not get portage CHOST!
 * gcc-config: You should verify that CHOST is set in one of these places:
 * gcc-config:  - //etc/portage/make.conf
 * gcc-config:  - active environment

It is a new installation on SSD and it is broken. 
I can't proceed with gcc upgrade/setting, in fact my system is currently broken.

You do not have an /etc/portage/make.conf file, or you have not configured the 
default with the correct settings?

Follow the installation guide and you should find your way out of there.

"make.conf" can be in /etc or /etc/portage mine is in /etc

That is thw wrong location, it is only provided for compatibility with
old installations. /etc/portage is the preferred location and the
settings in the make.conf in there will override yours.

I moved /etc/make.conf to /etc/portage/make.conf rebooted the system but it doesn't help.
Something went wrong during compilation.  

Howto initialized GCC environment from bootstrap?

Check beneath /etc/env.d/ld.so.conf.d and ensure that there is a file 
defining the appropriate paths for your current version of gcc. Here's 
how it looks on my system:

   # cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d
   # ls
   05binutils.conf  05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf
   # cat 05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf
   /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/32
   /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3

Once you have made any necessary changes, run ldconfig.

Thanks Kerin, for the pointer.
I think I have a bigger problem, and don't know how to fix it.

Yes, I have the same file /etc/ld.so.conf.d
# ls 
# 05gcc-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.conf
# cat 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/32
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3

However, those directories are empty (only one file):
# ls -al /usr/lib/
libbrcomplpr2.so

On my other working system this directory "/usr/lib/" contain about 2020 files.
What had happened?  

After emerging some files and system I was running command: fstrim -v / (as the disk is SSD).
Could it have something to do with the fact that these directories are empty?

Is /usr/lib an actual directory or a symlink? Assuming that you use a 
stock amd64 (multilib) profile, it should be a symlink to lib64. If you 
find that it is a directory and that you also have a lib64 directory, 
try the commands below. You can skip the busybox and exit commands if 
you are doing this in a chroot rather than on a live system.

   # busybox sh
   # cd /usr/
   # mv lib lib.old
   # ln -s lib64 lib
   # exit

No. Using fstrim does not delete files.

This is not pertinent to the matter at hand. Even if make.conf cannot be 
sourced, CHOST will be sourced from the profile and portage is perfectly 
capable of functioning.

There is no need for a user to define CHOST. At best, it is a no-op and, 
at worst, the user may screw up and define it in such a way that it is 
at odds with the profile.

The error message from gcc-config isn't particularly helpful because it 
falsely implies that make.conf or the "active environment" - as opposed 
to portage's environment - are the only valid sources.

Yes, it worked.  Everything is back to normal.

I can still not comprehend what had happened :-/ why all of a sudden in the middle of compilation it all vanished.

Were you doing anything outside of portage that may have had a hand in it?

Incidentally, you should move libbrcomplpr2.so to /usr/lib32. Some 
googling suggests to me that it is a library included in a proprietary 
Brother printer driver package. You can use the file command to confirm 
that it is a 32-bit library.

I was logged in over ssh in one terminal, compiling "xsane"
and logged in, in another terminal and was installing brother printer driver (without emerge) manual installation.
I followed my own instructions from: 
 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-909052-highlight-brother.html?sid=1ba0b92db499262c6a74919d86c6af43

I run:

tar zxvf ./cupswrapperHL5370DW-2.0.4-1.i386.tar.gz -C / 

Could be that one of this script messed up the links.
If so I don't know how could it happen. Looking though "history" these are the commands I run:

 305  tar zxvf ./brhl5250dnlpr-2.0.1-1.i386.tar.gz -C /

I read your forum post and can see that you're (dangerously) extracting 
directly into the root directory and that this is among the contents of 
the archive:

   ./usr/lib/
   ./usr/lib/libbrcomplpr2.so

I posit that tar clobbers the /usr/lib symlink, converting it into a 
directory because that is what is stored in the archive.

Ergo, use the --keep-directory-symlink parameter.

Excuse the fact that I am replying to myself, but I must also stress 
that the library does not belong in lib64. On a 64-bit system, you 
should adapt your process so that the library ends up residing in lib32, 
not lib64 (by way of the lib symlink). The software will not be able to 
function correctly otherwise.

Thank you again, I've already modified the line (so hopefully nobody else will get caught in it):
eg. tar --keep-directory-symlink -zxvf ./hl5370dwlpr-2.0.3-1.i386.tar.gz -C /

Thank you again. 
On a different subject.  Do you have a good pointer on how to backup a system.
I just had a HD crash so I selected a replacement SSD and I'm re installing the software.
I had backup of /etc/ and /home but I've missed all other settings eg:
/boot/ kernel config and other files and are not in /etc directory like: hylafax setting etc.

Is there a way to keep backup of all those configuration files that are manually edited?

That only returns 18 packages and you're missing most of the ones in app-
backup/.

Try:
eix app-backup/

That gives you 44 to choose from.

Alternatively, copy every file to a usb-disk and manually confirm they are all 
identical?

Well, I first used eix backup.  My thinking was this, if one searches
first for something with "backup" in it, they should notice a lot of
apps in the app-backup category even tho they might not know it existed
before that.  At that point, pot of gold with this:

eix app-backup/*

Thing is, he may not have eix installed.  :/ 

Either way works tho.  :-D 

Me, I just use rsync and call it a day.

And if you then need to ask a question on a different subject, please
start a new thread. It's still thread-jacking if the thread you hijack is

Great. If you have the time, explore to integrate your information
into the wiki.gentoo.org. In fact you can start your own brother
wiki page on wiki.gentoo.org.....


Also, just so you know, Gentoo folks routinely use rpm as as
a source for ebuilds. I can dig out some links, if you like
or better yet, others can post those links and relevant urls....

That would be a good idea, if only I could find some time.
Restoring the system is a slow process. Even though I have most of the backups; I still improving it as I restore it.
Making backup of these file that I manually changed.
