Was this box upgraded from one version of gcc to the next? These errors are gcc related more than they are perl (especially since this is in the configure stage)
This was a fresh 1.4 rc1 install, with the gcc-3.2 upgrades/revisions installed as they were released in portage. My present gcc-3.2.1 version was updated from gcc-3.2-r4. I've already tried re-installing gcc-3.2.1, which didn't help. I've had one other ebuild (avifile-0.7.15.20020816-r1) fail, with a gcc error message, since I tried to install the perl update. If it will help, please move this report to gcc - or I can resubmit it if that's required. Thanks for your help.
exactly the same errors here i also updated gcc from 3.2-r4 to 3.2.1 perl, avifile and other packages failed to emerge
i just re-emerged sys-lib/db 3.2.9-r1 [installed versions: sys-libs/db-1.85-r1 sys-libs/db-4.1.24 sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r1 ] after this, the update to perl-5.6.1-r9 was sucessful!
db-4 has problems and was removed from even ~arch emerges. hopefully that resolves this?
Is this still an open problem or can it be closed?
Please close. I rebuilt the system with 1.4_rc2.
Just wanted to be sure :)
