I get back to the prompt. I have a funny fealing it has to do with the i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc thing but the workarounds that I have tried are not working. Thanks a lot... ~Ben
Don't assign bugs if you don't know who maintains the package.
i'm not sure if your right or not, but how do you get a 386 compiler with your make.conf listing i686? Please enable portage logging and grab the resulting log after you attempt to emerge XML-Parser and then post it up here.
I managed to fix the problem... I think the perl team should know about this though. From the base install, like the state 3 with the default perl... this is what happens. I have herd the same thing with python, what happens is that perl is compiled for an i386, when you run this with an i686 something wierd happens. The funny thing though is that there is no error output or anything with perl, unlike python which does in fact spit at you alot. So as a basic solution... and I don't know why this isn't part of the basic install so far... emerge gcc and the rest, emerge python, emege perl. This should fix the problem. This took a while to figure out becasue the perl thing again would just die. I don't know if you guys have any power to change that but this is apparently a rather hard bug and thrown in whereever there is a compiler present and you don't compile it yourself. Thanks for the help though, ~Ben
Actually, perl is compiled with whatever you compiled it with. It sounds like you built your box from an i386 stage 3 instead of an i686 stage 3. If your lucky, this is the only problem your going to run into as a result.
