i follow the installation just fine until the "/scripts/bootstrap.sh." which seems to run fine for a long time, but always exists saying something is wrong and then displays the following: "!!!ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully !!!Function src.compile, Line 7 Exitcode 1 !!!(no error message)" The first time i came to this message i just thought it might be okay if i keep with the install.txt. However the next two emerges fail saying something about the C++ compiler not working correctly and then the same message above (different line numbers and exitcodes). This is the first time i have tried to install any linux-type environments (though i occationally use both unix and linux, so i kind of know what i am doing :). Thank you, nathan.james.g
which architecture, and which stage tarball specifically were you using?
sorry. i was extremely tired when i wrote that. gentoo-ix86-1.2.iso it is a stage 1 tarball basically i booted from the iso-cd and then openned the /install.txt and followed that down, executing all the commands. it seems to work fine up until the "Code listing 19," the "/scripts/bootstrap.sh" will continue for a long while and then then error message will come up.
At the moment i really have no idea... bootstrap.sh should (to my knowledge) not compile anything needing a c++ compiler. if i remember it right, groff in the stage2->stage3 phase of the install is the first build that needs c++. I know the following stuff sounds hard: I need more info! Which ebuilds failed? Can you redo that stuff and capture more of the output? Maybe like: scripts/bootstrap.sh 2>&1 | tee /tmp/my.log
I've a similar bug with stage1 of 1.4_rc1_20020908-1208 : c++ not being compiled in bootstrap Error is found in "emerge system" while compiling sys-lis/db-3.2.9-r1 : checking for c++... no checking for g++... no checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc -O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 8, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) My system is an athlon, my USE in make.conf are : "3dnow aalib alsa artsavi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups dga directfb doc dvd encode esd evo fbcon flash gb gd gdbm ggi gif gnome gnome-libs gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imap imlib innodb java jpeg kde lcms ldap libg++ libgda libwww maildir mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl plotutils png pnp postgres python qt qtmt quicktime readline samba sasl scanner sdl slp snmp socks5 spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype X xml xml2 xmms xv zlib" (I know too much thing but it's for test) My /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-3.2-r1/USE contains only : "build bootstrap" c++ is not present in the system after boostrap
totally sorry to waste everyone's time, though thank you for the help. the problem was in the make.conf i did not set it up proberly <feels extremely silly> everything seems to work fine now.
...to comment #5: Fine! Could you please describe what was the reason? We are looking for a maybe similar problem other users have seen too in 1.2 and 1.4_rc1. Perhaps it is a comparable misconfiguration, then the docs need to be clearer or if not, your description will help to border the different things from another... Thanks!
sorry, i did not mean to be so vague on purpose. the first time i tried to run the bootstrap i did not edit "make.conf". i looked at it but was unsure of how it worked. which meant that the bootstrap did not ever compile .. uh.. whatever it compiles. and i think it compiles to installs (sorry i do not know a whole lot about the process) the c++ compiler, which means that the next to emerges will complete successfully. then i setup the make.conf to use my k6 processor (deleted the #'s infront of three lines, and i think that is all i did) and everything worked after that. that is all i know, currently. i hope that helps anyone. if anyone has questions just post a question and i will be glad to help ~nathan.james.g
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
