i just tried to do an emerge -uDN world job, and it got through the first package (app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.2.2) fine. but then an update for Gaim was next, and it died in the test faze area with this error: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. !!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report: !!! /portage/portage/gaim-1.4.0-r2/work/gaim-1.4.0/config.log !!! ERROR: net-im/gaim-1.4.0-r2 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. below, i'll post my emerge info. i don't know how to make attachments, so what i'll do is, if the system will let me, post the config.log file mentioned in a second post to this report.
