[gentoo-user] Fresh install fails on Locale-gettext

[daniel]

I just finished doing a reinstall of my amd64 machine (using x86 though) and 
upon doing a:

  # emerge --update --deep --newuse world

(I'd edited my use flags and done an emerge sync) I got this:

  # emerge --update --deep --newuse world
  Calculating world dependencies ...done!

I tried emerging gettext again, no joy.  rebooting didn't help either.  What 
am I missing?

Try a revdep-rebuild and see if it wants to build something.

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Fresh install fails on Locale-gettext

Running revdep-rebuild told me to rebuild blackdown-java-something so that 
wasn't any help.  I had however noticed that along the way of doing the full 
upgrade gcc had been upgraded from 3.3 to 3.4 so I followed the Gentoo GCC 
Upgrade Guide[1] and did the following:

  # emerge -uav gcc
  # gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4
  # source /etc/profile
  # emerge --oneshot -av libtool
  # emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
  # emerge -e system
  # emerge -e world

I got as far as emerging the system where it died again...  on the same 
package.  In frustration, i just ran:

  # emerge --resume --skipfirst

And all went according to plan.  I rebuilt the rest of the system and then 
world... which included Locale-gettext and this time it worked.

It's a bit of a Windows-sounding solution, but it worked, so I thought I'd 
share.
