Your system is messed up by eselect-compiler, delete /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 135688 ***
(In reply to comment #1) > Your system is messed up by eselect-compiler, delete > /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 135688 *** after deleting /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc I cannot install anything anymore (including gcc), do you know how to fix this? TIA!! checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
Just re-run gcc-config and set your gcc versions again.
(In reply to comment #3) > Just re-run gcc-config and set your gcc versions again. Thanks Jakub, it's working again, however /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc and /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-<current gcc version> are not identical, is this the way it supposed to be?
Yeah, that's not a problem, just run /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --version and make sure it shows the currently selected one. If not, reopen. :)
