Revdep-rebuild always tries to rebuild GCC [solved]

[Raqua]

Today I upgraded to gcc-4.2.0.
It seems to be working ok except that when I run revdep-rebuild it tries to recompile gcc. I had the same issue with previous version of gcc - 4.1.2.
If I let it recompile and run revdep-rebuild right after that, I get the same output :

Code: Select all

# revdep-rebuild -i

/usr/lib/libgcj.la is not there. Compiling is working fine though.

Gcc does that.
If it is there then ignore the error.

Have you run " etc-update " yet , I use the -3 when asked and y + enter on each question seems to work good for now.
"ect-update" might stop it from comoling gcc again, not sure have to check.

Most important is
emerge -uD system -p
then remove -p and run it to update the base / linux .
You might have to run this 3 or 4 times until it has nothing more to add.

emerge -u world -p also helps but stops the extra uneeded stuff from installing when doing -uD .

add --skipfirst of there is a block that stps it from completing.

Hope this helps.

it's because of one of the USE flags, gjc or something, it's related to java. Look and see if you have gjc use flag. Removing the use flag shoud do it as it worked for me.

I just can't remember it off the top of my head, c0nv1ct knows it for sure - catch him in irc or send him a message.

gcj Enable building with gcj (The GNU Compiler for the Javatm Programming Language)

I've been wondering why it recompiles every world update. Another globle USE flag to get rid of in BE 1.0 is zeroconf. It keeps calling in mDNSResponder.

Been looking for a way to kill mDNSresponder clashing with avahi on emerge -u world. 1.0 BE

TY guy's both will be used by many posting here.

Thanks! I knew I was close to the name

i step in the same thing when i upgrade from kde 3.5.6 to 3.5.7 ... and after many cicles of revdep-rebuild still claim that gcc is broken and need a recompile. My last log:

Code: Select all

sudo revdep-rebuild --ignore --pretend

i just ignore it ... /usr/local/lib/mplayer is popping up only because of my laziness, and openoffice and gcc is both working, and in good shape ... well maybe when i have time i will recompile openoffice v2.2.1 again ...

openoffice-bin

openoffice isn't worth compiling for me.

I either try to repair the .la symlinks (e.g. libgij.la) manually and if i cant then i delete the file
they are mostly not needed (use caution)

for mDNSresponder i remove it then add its libraries as a USE flag to avahi, although one time after a world update both seemed to stop conflicting

[navman]

the mDNSResponder problem is specific to the BE edition or perhaps a stable install of gentoo if useing the same make.conf file because of the stable arch. I understand that kde 3.5.6 r1 and newer versions no longer use mDNSResponder.
