I think the real error is somewhere up, could you check and see if you have an Error *** somewhere up?

Created attachment 320858 [details]
emerge binutils output

Not sure what to look for... Perhaps you can help with that?

zlib issue

[Comment 4 Raboo Treed 2012-08-10 11:41:43 UTC]

zlib is installed in $EPREFIX/tmp as part of the bootstrap process.

I now even tried to "emerge --oneshot sys-libs/zlib" and after that "emerge --oneshot --nodeps sys-devel/binutils".

Still same issue.

What host OS was this? I cannot reproduce on 3 different distros.

[Comment 6 Raboo Treed 2012-08-16 08:16:22 UTC]

CentOS 6 on x86_64 and CentOS 5 on x86. Both of them running in a openvz container.

[Comment 7 Raboo Treed 2012-08-16 11:41:24 UTC]

installing zlib-devel on the host OS fixes the problem...
But then it is another problem.. shouldn't gentoo-prefix applications rely on what's under the prefix and not the host OS libraries and binaries?

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2012-08-16 12:32:03 UTC]

yes, so I'm unhappy you did so, because it means for some reason the zlib that was installed during the bootstrap is not found

[Comment 9 Fabian Groffen 2012-09-03 13:35:54 UTC]

if it works for you now, I'm happy
