error: Could not run/locate "i586-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"

Hello,
when trying to emerge -e world after changing CHOST from i586-pc-linux-gnu to i686-pc-linux-gnu, following the manual here,
I got the following message;

Code: Select all

Looks good

How could I avoid this error?

What's the reason of changing a CHOST? NOTHING. IT DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR PC PERFORMANCES, I JUST MESSES UP YOUR INSTALLATION UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN DEPTH.
Why doing that? I can't understand, CHOST is not CFLAGS.

To let my computer run BOINC, completely not to increase PC performance.
The applications cannot be distributed unless the host is i686. It'd be okay if I had x86_64 mashine.
It's actually not NOTHING.

Okay, I'll go Fedora.

Sorry? Where?

Wow, why do you scream on that guy, you seem to be a bit overreacting.
I have been asking the same thing a couple of months ago and not too many people could help me. It might be posted somewhere to avoid these problems as it is not that obvious that there is no significant increase in performance and that you can mess Sabayon up.

Okay, I'll go Fedora.

Forget Fedora and next time use SEARCH function. If you did, you would have found my thread here.
