When i run the bootstrap script in /usr/portage/scripts it want to install a series of packages like db, groff,man that usually were installed in stage 2 (emerge system). These packages fail to compile because i don't have g++ installed (or at least it seems, i must have the gcc-binutils-glibc toolchain broken, maybe it's related to the recent upgrade of gcc?). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.cd /usr/portage 2.scripts/bootstrap.sh 3. Actual Results: groff give me this error: ------------- configure: error: a working C++ compiler is required !!! ERROR: sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 85, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. --------------------- sorry if i can't post all the log but i'm on another computer posting this bug :( db on the other and give me a similar error (i suppose for tha same reason: no g++ available) --------------- ./libtool: line 1: g++: command not found make: *** [cxx_db.lo] Error 1 !!! ERROR: sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r4 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 96, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. --------------------- Expected Results: finish the bootstrap i'm on another computer so i can't post the 'emerge info' output, sorry... anyway i remember some settings: CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" i tried with different USE flags, even with USE="-*" but i get the same error with groff (not with db beacuse it's not installed without the berkdb flag)
Did you merge gcc with USE=nocxx ?
no, anyway the bootstrap script tries to emerge groff and db before gcc, linux-headers, glibc and all the other packages... this morning i will retry installing Gentoo to see what happens.
no way, same error as yesterday
I got the same problem trying to boostrap an amd64
is this a dup of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77718
