After emerging emul-linux-x86-baselibs emul-linux-x86-xlibs and emul-linux-x86-gtklibs, I noticed an inconsistency: /etc/ld.so.conf contains: /usr/lib32 /usr/lib32/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2 However, there is no /usr/lib32! I think it should be a link to /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib. That would make it possible for ld to find the 32-bit versions of libstdc++, libgcc_s and other gcc libraries required to run certain binaries (e.g. firefox). Probably emul-linux-x86-baselibs should be the ebuild that sets up the link. By the way, if this link is added it has the fortunate collateral effect of resolving bug #50691 in (I believe) an elegant way.
not a toolchain bug.... anyways, what versions are you using? 1.0 or 1.1?
sorry, forgot to mention: I'm using 1.1-r1 Here is the content of my emul-linux-x86-baselibs-1.1-r1.ebuild file. What is really funny is that the command to create the link is there on the last line. tried reemerging emul-linux-x86-baselibs, but had no success. At that point in the execution, the value of the variable D is /var/tmp/portage/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-1.1-r1/image/ Perhaps the link is created in /var/tmp/portage/..../image/usr/lib32, but is not getting transferred to /usr/lib32 (I really don't know how that part of portage works)... # Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-1.1-r1.ebuild,v 1.1 2004/05/03 12:31:00 kugelfang Exp $ S=${WORKDIR}/${P} DESCRIPTION="Base libraries for emulation of 32bit x86 on amd64" SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/distfiles/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-1.1.tar.bz2" HOMEPAGE="" SLOT="0" LICENSE="GPL-2" KEYWORDS="~amd64" DEPEND="virtual/glibc" src_unpack () { unpack ${A} } src_install() { cd ${WORKDIR} mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86 mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/lib/dev-state mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/lib/security/pam_filter mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/lib/rcscripts/sh mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/lib/rcscripts/awk mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/misc mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/awk mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gcc-config mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2 mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gettext mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/gconv mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/glib/include mkdir -p ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/pkgconfig mkdir -p ${D}/etc/env.d # Fixes BUG #49678 mkdir -p ${D}/lib mv ${WORKDIR}/etc/env.d/75emul-linux-x86-baselibs ${D}/etc/env.d/ rm -Rf ${WORKDIR}/etc cp -RPvf ${WORKDIR}/* ${D}/emul/linux/x86/ # Fixes BUG #47817 cd ${D}/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib sed -e "s/\/lib\//\/lib32\//g" libc.so > libc.so.new mv libc.so.new libc.so ln -sf /emul/linux/x86/lib/ld-linux.so.2 ${D}/lib/ld-linux.so.2 ln -sf /emul/linux/x86/lib ${D}/lib32 ln -sf /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib ${D}/usr/lib32 } ------------------------------------- For completeness: # emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-amd64-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.5-gentoo-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 x86_64 12 Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.8 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X amd64 apm arts avi berkdb crypt encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls nogcj oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl tcpd truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib"
by the way, I used: # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge emul-linux-x86-baselibs (otherwise i'd get version 1.0, not 1.1-r1)
Fixed. Same as missing link to ld-linux.so, i forgot to create "usr/" inside ${D}... Version bump to 1.1-r2
