I'm trying to upgrade portage, and apparently sys-apps/sandbox is a dependency. Sandbox fails to get through configuration with the message "econf failed". It then tells me to try running "FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox", but that also fails with the same error. Here's the output: antineo-gentoo antineo # emerge portage Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild Manifests... >>> Emerging (1 of 2) sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2 to / * sandbox-1.2.18.1.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

Hi Jonathan, please attach the full build logs which the error message you pasted asks you for, and then re-open this bug.

Alright, attached log and reopening bug...

I installed my system over three years ago, back when I had no idea what I was doing. I'm sure I used the AMD64 handbook, though. What are you suspecting is wrong?
I have the same issue. I found this bug several months ago and thought it would be fixed by now, yet I see no new activity since April!! How do we get this fixed? I have exactly the same issue as this guy, and I am trying to update portage too.
(In reply to comment #9) > How do we get this fixed? I have exactly the same issue as this guy, and I am > trying to update portage too. How can you be sure it's the same issue? Does your config.log contain something like this: configure:2253: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --version </dev/null >&5 gcc-config error: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc wrapper: Could not determine which compiler to use. Invalid CTARGET or CTARGET has no selected profile. configure:2256: $? = 1 If so, does `gcc-config -c` show a valid gcc profile or not?
Heh, after having a stupid argument with some people on #gentoo, I decided to just reinstall. This bug has been around for a while and it doesn't look like anyone wants to fix it.
Do you have a good understanding of the problem or how to fix it? If you can supply an appropriate patch then somebody would probably apply it for you.
(In reply to comment #12) > Do you have a good understanding of the problem or how to fix it? If you can > supply an appropriate patch then somebody would probably apply it for you. I'm a n00b. ;) I think it has something to do with the wrong compiler being set or something... but I really don't know.
I have the same problem, I am running ~amd64 and sandbox detects an i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. I think the problem is a somehow broken configure script. On my machine I have installed numerous cross compilers, among them is i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. I solved the problem temporarily by export CC=/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc before the emerge. The problem only occurs on emerging sandbox, so I think the system is all right. For convenience, the output of gcc-config -l (yes, maybe there are a few of them): [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.4 * [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.1 [4] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-4.1.2 * [5] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-4.2.4 [6] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-4.3.1 [7] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.4 [8] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.1 * The crosscompilers all were emerged using crossdev. The output of arch says I have an x86_64. As the previous sandbox-version sandbox-1.2.18.1-r2 was installed, but now also would not install (without the export) maybe some other package changed.

I just hit the same problem (but with the -r3 ebuild) on a non-multilib system. Definitely crossdev related, at least in part. Removing the crossdev packages with "crossdev -C i686" fixes it quickly enough. However, I think gcc-4.3 issues may be involved as well, since my config.log warned that "-march=core2" was invalid, and I had the cross-dev i686-gcc version 4.2.4 and I'm currently using x86_64 version 4.3.1 (with the new march=core2 CFLAG) for the system itself. I believe the problem only came up for me because the CFLAGS caused the old i686 gcc to fail. I imagine all that's needed is some logic to seperate actual multilib systems from ones that just happen to have crossdev setups. Could it be as simple as USE=(no)multilib ?
i was having this problem because i had failed to set CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y in my kernel during a new install; setting it fixed the problem.
I long have the emulation for 32 bit executables enabled in my kernel or otherwise 32 bit binary packages would not have been able to run, e.g. opera < 9.5 So i think that is not the point in fixing this problem. Even if your sandbox now compiles fine, still a 32 bit exectuable has been created and this is simply wrong on a 64 bit configuration.
I just found that bug #202811 seems to have hit the same problem. So this here seems to be a duplicate.
original bug was due eselect compiler garbage. delete the wrappers by hand.
