I am a newbie so it could all be my fault. I have a pentium3 computer on which "emerge -Nu gnome" failed. The error messages say that it was "emerge -Nu dev-python/pyorbit-2.14.1" that fails. A separate "emerge -Nu pyorbit" agreed. I also tried "emerge -Nu dev-python/pyorbit-2.14.0" and "emerge -Nu dev-python/pyorbit-2.0.1". As far as I can tell, the error messages are the same except for the version numbers for pyorbit. The "actual results" of "emerge -uND pyorbit" are given below. The first error string is: "** (orbit-idl-2:17785): WARNING **: testcall.idl compilation failed" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. tolstoi ~ # cat /etc/make.conf # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage # Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" USE="nptl nptlonly -ipv6 -fortran X \ unicode svg hal dbus -kde -qt3 -qt4 -arts -eds -esd \ gstreamer gtk\ -apm" # gnome firefox FEATURES="parallel-fetch" tolstoi ~ # 2. tolstoi ~ # emerge -uDN pyorbit Actual Results: The attached is the results of "emerge -uND pyorbit".

Possible to give the full error message? I guess that is not the full error...
Created attachment 114977 [details] Results of "emerge -uND pyorbit". First error message comes from: orbit-idl-2 --add-imodule testcall.idl orbit-idl-2 2.14.2 compiling mode, hide preprocessor errors, passes: stubs skels common headers Processing file testcall.idl ** (orbit-idl-2:19142): WARNING **: testcall.idl compilation failed
Well "pyorbit" depends on "orbit-idl-2". So I tried manually running the failed "orbit-idl-2" command on the test file used by the "pyorbit" installation. So either the real problem is my installed "orbit-idl-2" or the test file used by "pyorbit". The following is a screenshot. # tar xjf /usr/portage/distfiles/pyorbit-2.14.1.tar.bz2 pyorbit-2.14.1/tests/c-inproc/testcall.idl # cd pyorbit-2.14.1/tests/c-inproc/ # orbit-idl-2 --add-imodule testcall.idl orbit-idl-2 2.14.2 compiling mode, hide preprocessor errors, passes: stubs skels common headers Processing file testcall.idl ** (orbit-idl-2:25947): WARNING **: testcall.idl compilation failed
I tried a manual "emerge -v gnome-base/orbit" which failed. The first error message follows. My compiler is "i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" so why is it asking for "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"? make[8]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/orbit-2.14.2/work/ORBit2-2.14.2/include/orbit/util' Making all in orb-core make[8]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/orbit-2.14.2/work/ORBit2-2.14.2/include/orbit/orb-core' (rm -f corba-defs.h corba-defs-stubs.c corba-defs-skels.c corba-defs-common.c corba-defs-imodule.c corba-defs-skelimpl.c || true) > /dev/null ../../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl-2 -I../../../src/idl/CORBA_PIDL -I../../../src/idl/CORBA -I../../../src/idl/interop -I../../../src/orb/orb-core --noskels --nodefskels --nostubs --noidata --nocommon --showcpperrors --define=Object=OObject --define=TypeCode=TTypeCode --deps ./.deps/corba-defs.idl.P ../../../src/orb/orb-core/corba-defs.idl orbit-idl-2 2.14.2 compiling mode, show preprocessor errors, passes: headers Processing file ../../../src/orb/orb-core/corba-defs.idl gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" ** (orbit-idl-2:3391): WARNING **: ../../../src/orb/orb-core/corba-defs.idl compilation failed make[8]: *** [corba-defs.h] Error 1
You have a broken compiler setup, I'd guess. What does gcc-config -l show? Which versions of gcc do you have installed?
The user and I resolved this offline. It turned out to be a borked compiler.
