Then I learned from this mailing list that dep -d would take my USE flags into account so I did "dep -d". It showed me the list of things it was going to unmerge and I saw the gcc.3.4 but thought: well, I know I have gcc.4.something and what's the use of having an old C compiler hanging around? So I let it go.... :-( Now to solve the situation I did gcc-config i386-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 and emerge is working more or less. Now I'm going to emerge binutils, gcc and glibc in the hope that everything will be allright. Currently, I get lots of "rc-scripts: gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!" in /var/log/messages. --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
