Bug 39574 – distcc falling back to compile on local during emerge system with an stage2 tarball

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Boris Moddemann 2004-01-27 09:30:31 UTC]

After decompression of the stage2 tarball from the LiveCD, I read and followed the instructions how to set up distcc for bootstrapping on youre Page:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/de/distcc.xml

doing an emerge system now generates the following error lines:
distcc[18960] (dcc_mkdir) ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied
distcc[18960] (dcc_lock_one) ERROR: failed to lock
[..]
distcc[18963] (dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to distribute, running locally instead

compilation takes place, but without using my faster machine configured to help the slow one bootstrap

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow the installation manual and decompress an stage2 tarball
2. Follow the distCC Guide for bootstrapping
3. do an emerge system

Actual Results:  
slow local compilation;
no distribution of the compilation tasks


!!! No gcc found. You probably need to 'source /etc/profile' to update
!!! the environment of this terminal and possibly other terminals also.

on your new machine post output from:

  grep -i distcc /etc/make.conf

[Comment 2 Boris Moddemann 2004-01-28 00:52:57 UTC]

USE="distcc"
FEATURE="distcc"

Thats the two Lines I added/edited as described in the Documentation.

What distcc version are you trying to use?

[Comment 4 Boris Moddemann 2004-02-03 09:30:54 UTC]

I tried the same with an stage1 installation.
works just fine now.

cannot determine the distcc Version I tried to use, but I did a resync just before, and I use no masked packages...

hope that helpes...
