[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade: Active gcc profile is invalid!

[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade: Active gcc profile is invalid!

[Jarry]

Hi,
I just tried to upgrade gcc (stable amd64, from 4.4.3-r2
to 4.4.4-r2) following the procedure recommended in Gentoo
GCC Upgrade Guide:

emerge -uav gcc

At the end of compilation, I got these strange messages:
====================================================

  * gcc-config: Could not locate 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.3'
  in '/etc/env.d/gcc/'

====================================================

What does that "invalid profile" mean, and how can I fix it?

Thanks, "emerge --oneshot gcc" really seems to have fixed it.
I just think it is somehow time-consuming, emerging gcc two times.
Especially when I have to repeat it with my 12 gentoo servers.
Sequentially, unfortunatally, as they share the same hardware...

What he meant was the link to bugs.gentoo.org, where it is explained 
that you don't need to do anything and all is fine; the message that 
tells you to re-emerge gcc is bogus; you do not need to re-emerge it.

Why not use --buildpkg the first time and --usepkg the other 11 times?

They have slightly different use-flags. But I do not know if some
of them might have impact on gcc too...

Just do a emerge -pv gcc and see if the USE flag is listed there.  If it 
is, then this may not work.  If it is not, you should be able to use the 
--buildpkg feature.

I already mentioned in another post that you don't need to build gcc 
twice and the message that tells you to do so is wrong.

? Current stable gcc is 4.4.3-r2 on amd64?

Well... it means that the active gcc profile is invalid :)

You can have several gcc versions installed on your system for a given
target arch; each version has an associated profile and you can choose
the active one (i.e. which version is run when you type "gcc") by using
gcc-config.

When you do a regular (i.e. -multislot) gcc upgrade, the active profile
must be changed from the old version to the new one; the ebuild should
take care of this for you but sometimes it chokes in the process.

First you have some warnings about the old profile being broken -- which
is expected as you just uninstalled the old gcc version:

>  * gcc-config: Could not locate 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.3'
[...]
>  * gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid!
> gcc-config: error: could not run/locate 'gcc'

Then the new profile is correctly selected:

>  * Switching native-compiler to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4 ...

It's not clear to me whether the following warnings (let alone the whole
"your gcc is broken" scary thing) are caused by the new profile being
actually broken or -- more likely -- by the problems encountered when
trying to do something with the old profile.

Try a simple "gcc -v" in a new shell. If it works, you are fine.
If it does not work, try again after doing "gcc-config 1".
If it still does not work, well, you're in for lots of fun.

HTH,
andrea
