Description Aaron DeVore 2012-03-06 01:33:43 UTC

I am attempting to install Linux From Scratch using the Gentoo Linux install CD. When I attempt to use ./configure for baseutils, I get an error about libmpfr.so.4 missing. After getting libmpfr.so.4 from elsewhere, I get the same for libgmp.so.10. Both are not present anywhere on the CD. The iso is "install-x86-minimal-20120228.iso".

Reproducible: Always

Hello, I'm not on the release team but you don't use the cd to build anything. For that, you would chroot into a stage3. At least for Gentoo Linux, can't comment on other distros (LFS)

Comment 2 Aaron DeVore 2012-03-06 04:17:12 UTC

GCC is there, so I would expect it to be able to at least run a configure script. Is it better to use the LiveCD when I need an environment that I can build in?

I knew this sounded familar, actually. I filed bug 338453, which is definately related.

The point here is that the installcd is not meant to be the "building base" for a new install. As Jeremy pointed out, that's what we have the stage3 for.

@releng:
I vote for closing as WONTFIX. Opinions?

bug 338453 says that gcc should be removed, but it is not anymore (according to comment #2). regression?

As can be seen on the amd64 installcd specs[1], we are unmerging mpfr and gmp, which explains with those libs are not present in the CD.

livecd/unmerge:
	dev-libs/gmp
	dev-libs/mpfr

@releng:

Shall we try unmerging gcc and see if / what breaks?

Now that automated builds are working again, I'm going to test building a CD without gcc.

(In reply to comment #6)

you cannot do that.  gcc includes libgcc and libstdc++ and other runtime libs.  you could probably merge it with:
INSTALL_MASK='
    /usr/*/gcc-bin/*
    /usr/bin/*
    /usr/libexec/*
    /usr/lib/*/finclude/*
    /usr/lib/*/include/*
    /usr/lib/*/plugin/*
'

To workaround this issue and so we don't need to keep the gcc deps in the CD, we're removing them with FEATURES="preserve_libs". The applications that were failing the admin-cd because of the missing libs are working again.

@releng:
I vote we close this bug as FIXED

Indeed.
