Bug 384067 – sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r1 not relocating libs out of os_multilibdirs

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sam 2011-09-22 11:56:36 UTC]

I am unable to emerge GCC anymore. Last year I had the exact same problem and had to circumvent it by installing an already compiled version of it. All went well up until today when it decided to not emerge again anymore.

I have a thread in the forums that has more information that would be of good use. Also details attached

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -auDN world   (one of the packages is gcc)
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
 Package 'sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r1' NOT merged due to file collisions. If
 * necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole content of the
 * above message.

Expected Results:  
successful emerge

It's a sempron (amd64). trying to figure out where/how to attach files for emerge info and output...

Hi, I just added the build.log and my emerge --info. Please let me know if you need anything else. 

Thanks.

ls -alh of the colliding files

I `ls -alh` the 2 batches of colliding files which are at the end of the build.log for reference.

this isn't the full build log.  all of the `make` output is missing.

please post the full log as an attachment.

this is the source of the problem:
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r1/temp/environment: line 2995: -print-multi-lib: command not found

but no idea why that's happening

Thanks Spanky,

Googling around I couldn't find much useful info about the cause too.. Do you still want a full make output? I upgraded to 4.5.3 through the binary build then recompiled to see if i would still have the same library location issue and i still do - although now i can emerge gcc successfully until the next upgrade i guess..

I can downgrade again and get the full make logs for you if you still need them, but i need a week if you don't mind, as I have a full-on week of work now =/

Thanks for the support.

You probably know this, but anyway

Usually, errors like that happen when some command like $(CC) --arg ... is run, $(CC) is undefined and evaluates to "", so you get an error about --arg: command not found.

Feel free to reopen after attaching the requested build log.
