I installed the new Gentoo Linux on my i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) MP CPU 3.16GHz. After finishing the installation, just right after the emerge --newuse world, I started emerging Apache. It crashed with the following error message: checking for void pointer length... yes configure: error: Size of "void *" is less than size of "long" * * ERROR: app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.9 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2343: Called econf 'src_compile' 'src_compile' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--with-z=/usr' '--with-apr=/usr' '--with-apr-util=/usr' '--with-pcre=/usr' * ebuild.sh, line 519: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "econf failed" * The die message: * econf failed Any tricks like: emerge openssl run revdep-depclean do not help.

@Anton: Did you run revdep-rebuild after installing and before emerging apache?
(In reply to comment #5) > @Anton: Did you run revdep-rebuild after installing and before emerging apache? > Yes,I have run it, but it didn't help. But the error itself is fixed. Sorry, guys, I didn't notice this pcre trouble. Running the update for PCRE fixed all the problems with Apache installation
