I'm not sure of the cause of this but after letting a large install go overnight, I come back in the morning and files are missing, new started builds complain of gcc being missing and other components are not found. I can get the files to be found again by doing the following: 1. exit the chroot jail 2. redo the jail by doing 'chroot /mnt/gentoo/ /bin/bash' 3. running env-update Now all the files are found again, doing just env-update before exiting and redoing the jail doesn't seem to restore the missing files, so I'm not sure where the problem comes from. Let me know if you need any more info.
the gcc missing could be an issue with the colorgcc script ... what other files go missing ?
I'll leave this new install overnight and I'll let you know what is missing in the morning. It's after an `emerge system` that this occurs, only extra thing I install is vim. It seems to happen faster if I let something build outside of the jail; would make sense if something crucial is getting pushed out of the jails memory and isn't reloaded.
I'll add that this happened to me with the rc2 stage1 iso...I had to run ldconfig and env-update after emerge system to get portage to recognize that ncurses and gcc were actually there. After asking in #gentoo-dev drobbins informed me that this is known, and is a portage thing, that portage used to run ldconfig and update after each emerge, but doesn't currently. I guess needs passed on to carpaski
yup, gcc and ncurses are the main things, trying a `make menuconfig` of the kernel fails with those two being gone.
