During "emerge -u system" (after bootstrap/stage2) db fails to compile stoping "emerge -u system". It appears that the installation of gcc-3.2.1-r6 (an ALPHA ebuild) the gcc binaries from /usr/bin. 'cc' is symlinked to 'gcc' within /usr/bin
Sorry ? I do not understand what you are trying to say ? Please include logs, etc. Normally /usr/bin/cc is a symlink to gcc. with gcc-3.2.1-r6 however, it is a shell script, so if it is not, it usually means you have an old sys-devel/gcc-config. So update that (current version should be 1.2.7), and see if it fixes. If not, you should really include more info. (btw, if you have ~x86, you should not moan about ALPHA ?)
Well then it seems that gcc-config was not being installed via the "emerge -u system" before db was compiled. Was it not a dependancy? If gcc-config is needed for a proper compiler environment then it certainly should be! Infact its not now: deperdo gcc # emerge search gcc Searching... [ Results for search key : gcc ] [ Applications found : 5 ] [...] * sys-devel/gcc Latest version available: 3.2.1-r6 Latest version installed: 3.2.1-r6 Size of downloaded files: 21,271 kB Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html Description: Modern C/C++ compiler written by the GNU people [...] gcc-3.2.1-r6 is installed.

So, now according to you, I have a broken compiler environment. Let's update my system...: deperdo gcc # emerge -up system These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating system dependencies ...done!

If gcc-3.2.1-r6 does not have /usr/bin/cc, and gcc-config-1.2.7 does have /usr/bin/cc, and /usr/bin/cc is required to build db therefore shouldnt gcc-config be required to be installed along with gcc-3.2.1-r6? Especially when you're installing a fresh system? And regarding the ALPHA comment... # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-devel/gcc/gcc-3.2.1-r6.ebuild,v 1.4 2002/12/23 17:49:58 azarah Exp $ [...snip...] pkg_setup() { echo eerror "This is a very alpha ebuild and changes in here" eerror "are not yet set in stone!
