[gentoo-user] GCC Upgrade Problems - Why does emerge --sync not work

[gentoo-user] GCC Upgrade Problems - Why does emerge --sync not work

[Richard Watson]

Hi there, I've been trying to upgrade my Gentoo Laptop to 3.4.6 with the
upgrade guide.. Everything seemed to go OK except now when I issue
emerge --sync I get the message

>>> Starting retry 3 of 3 with rsync://140.211.166.165/gentoo-portage
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
rsync: failed to connect to 140.211.166.165: Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(107)
[receiver=2.6.8]
.

I thought maybe I would repeat the upgrade process but can't get passed
"emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3". The compilation starts and then
always seems to freeze at

"In file included from
/var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/expr.c:39
/var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/recog.h:227: warning
type of bit-field "mode" is a GCC extension."

I have a feeling I removed all the old GCC versions previously with
"emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*" which is why it keeps failing.

Another problem is that my laptop randomly freezes solid since upgrading GCC
necessating a power cycle in order to get going again.

I'm sort of thinking of rebuilding my system from scratch (presumably with
emerge -e system and then emerge -e world) or am I just wasting lots of
time.

I susppect I've done something stupid ...

Thanks anyone, Richard

The server is refusing the connection, there's nothing wrong at your end
except you need to try a different rsync server.

The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Thanks ... I figured this bit out last night ... Sorry. I'm still
puzzled why my lap top keeps freezing. Usually when the screen saver
cuts in. The last things I've done are upgrade GCC and follow the power
managment guide for my laptop. Are there any obvious mistakes that would
cause this? Thank, Richard

Well I've wasted everybodt's timeon this ... sorry. It was a kernel problem.
I had created a new one when configuring for cpufreqd and used the wrong
processor type. Richard
