Confused newbie

[wobbleyhead]

I'm having some problems with emerge and portage.

Yesterday I finally managed to sync the portage tree, I intially had the mirror address wrong so that was what was holding it up. Since that was fixed and the portage tree has been updated, I have tried to update portage as was recommended however I get the following error

> Unpacking portage-2.1.3.6.patch.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.1.3.6/work
* Applying portage-2.1.3.6.patch ... [ ok ]
* Setting portage.VERSION to 2.1.3.6 ... [ ok ]

environment, line 3390: Called src_compile
portage-2.1.3.6.ebuild, line 88: Called die

!!! Failed to build tbz2tool

this is repeadted in the build log so i'm at a loss for what to try as I don't know too much about all this.

I also tried a couple of other packages to install/update and I'm getting errors with those as well. ranging from no ebuild to satisfy (insert package) to

stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1614: Called dyn_compile
ebuild.sh, line 971: Called qa_call 'src_compile'

ebuild.sh, line 577: Called die

!!! econf failed


Are they related? would other packages fail to build if portage isn't at it's latest version? Does anyone have any ideas that might help?

what version are you running?

what have you all done to your system?

gcc issues are not a good thing.

[wobbleyhead]

This is what I'm running

Linux version 2.6.20-sabayon-r3 (root@lxnaydesign.net) (gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3)) #1 SMP Tue Mar 13 21:25:59 UTC 2007

This was a fresh install a few weeks ago, made a slight error with repartitioning and fragged the grub partition, so i reinstalled again. since then i've tried to update a few packages and get my wireless card working (with no succes, but that's another issue).

How bad is not good?

[wolfden]

what version of SabayonLinux?

mini dvd 3.3 3.4a 3.4e ?????????????????????????




what does
gcc-config -l

show?

[wobbleyhead]

[1] i586-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 * this is the output from gcc-config -l

it's release 3.4 loop 3 i'm running....i know it's not the mini edition

[wobbleyhead]

After some searching I found this post. After reading through it, it appears I may have inadvertantley destroyed something(s) important

Further in I found a command to show me what it is that i'm missing and according to that, this is what i needed to re-emerge

So I ran this

grep i386-pc-linux-gnu /var/db/pkg/*/*/CHOST -R|cut -d\/ -f5-6
for package in $(grep i386-pc-linux-gnu /var/db/pkg/*/*/CHOST -R|cut -d\/ -f5-6); do emerge =${package}; done

which i lifted from SilveRo and is currently running, so i suppose i'll seehow that turns out

[DontPanic]

This almost sounds like your CHOST setting in /etc/make.conf is set wrong.

I ran into something like this with Gentoo, and it was because I imported a make.conf file without checking the CHOST version.

[wobbleyhead]

This is what's in the make.conf file. I haven't altered it since the install last week

[wolfden]

i386??

it should be i586-pc-linux-gnu


that doesn't change by itself either.

[wobbleyhead]

So if i changed i386 to i586 then it would be ok?

I understand it doesnt change by it'self but i'm trying to think how it would've done, where does that info come from?
