Portage Problem

[BASH]

I need to figure out what my stupid is...Been a while since I started from the beginning.I am using the 3.5 POD version and I started up with emerge --sync && layman -S. I'll probably have to wait to post that message(already did that once today), but I don't believe the overlays synced. I downloaded and unpacked the file from the press releases to my /var/db/pkg folder before that. I think about the only thing I could get to emerge was the gentoolkit...odd! Here is what the majority of an emerge looks like @ the end.

Code: Select all

configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:

The C preprocessor fails sanity check everytime and then calls die. Maybe I'll see if I can reemerge the C libraries. I'm clueless. That means my C++ compiler is messed or missing?

Here is that section from the beginning...

Thanks! I'll check it out!

I did the above and I'm still having issues...besides my norm I wonder if its because I started doing it wrong from the get go-- I seen another post in here with similar issues and he fixed it by deleting and mkdir the distfile directory. That was no dice for me. I get sync errors as of now.There is a lot of stuff in portage that I want and need to get. Should I just uninstall portage and all of that stuff and start fresh on it?

Here is the output from this mornings sync:

Code: Select all

module object has no attribute portage_exec. That has me wondering about permissions and/or some linking gone awry?

I installed some things with spritz, and I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of execution with the binaries!Now to get portage working...

update portage if you can, the top error is because something is using a depreciated call but that is nothing to worry about, what is your portage version?

You could try a downgrade to 2.1 if you are running a 2.2 RC
