Bug 106235 – gconf could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104756
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-16 21:42:00 UTC]

I get:
     Could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"
for many ebuilds. I do not know what to do to fix this. I know this is a
duplicate, but the others weren't fixed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge any program requiring i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
Actual Results:  
It stops the build from progressing, giving an error code 2.

Expected Results:  
It should have builded.

fix_libtool_files.sh --oldarch i386-pc-linux-gnu

Stop doing things like changing your CHOST anywhere else then in stage 1 install.

[Comment 2 Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-17 06:19:06 UTC]

It outputs usage for --oldarch.

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 06:24:09 UTC]

 # fix_libtool_files.sh `gcc -dumpversion` --oldarch i386-pc-linux-gnu

What about reading the help instead of reopening the bug?

[Comment 4 Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-17 06:26:43 UTC]

I did, and I didn't understand it. Please understand I haven't ever done any
compiling myself.

[Comment 5 Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-17 06:29:17 UTC]

i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 06:32:59 UTC]

The command from comment #3 *does* work, what about cut and paste it instead of
making syntax mistakes?

fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.6 --oldarch i386-pc-linux-gnu

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 06:33:14 UTC]

CLOSED

[Comment 8 Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-17 06:43:20 UTC]

The command worked (sorry for not telling you, I had to do something very
quickly), but I still can't build. It said that it fixed a lot of things, however.

[Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 06:46:49 UTC]

Re-emerge libtool. If that does not help, then do "emerge -e world" and stop
screwing with CHOST next time. 

Self-inflicted breakage of system is not a bug, sorry. We have forums.gentoo.org
if you are seeking help. Bugzilla is for bugs and feature requests. 

Now really CLOSING. 

[Comment 10 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 06:46:58 UTC]

CLOSED

[Comment 11 Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-17 07:07:20 UTC]

Look, I told you that this was a dupe because I knew that there were other bugs
here with the same topic. However, they all had no solution. People posted their
solutions, and I tried them, but it did not work. I did not screw around with
CHOST on my own inclination.

[Comment 12 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-17 07:11:14 UTC]

Then post steps needed to reproduce this bug. I can't reproduce it without
screwing with my CHOST, sorry. The steps you posted do not work, there is no
such thing like "program requiring i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc".

[Comment 13 Daniel Kaplun 2005-09-17 07:37:27 UTC]

Uhhh, my main example is gconf, a necessary program for updating GNOME. I have
followed other cases.

If you notice, the first link shows the replier telling the poster to do 'unset
CHOST'.

Great. Marking as a dupe of Bug 104756. Also, please note that despite common
belief the developers do *not* have paranormal abilities and are not mind
readers. This whole bug is a prime example of providing zero relevant information.

Post to bug 104756 and *don't* reopen this one any more.

Thanks.
