libstdc++.so.4 missing after rsync update world

abergou

Hello I did an rsync update world on my gentoo 1.3a system (which was working great before this!) and it updated gcc-3.1-r5 to gcc-3.1-r6.... After this basically everything started breaking because the above mentioned library (libstdc++.so.4) was missing. I believe that the gcc package provides this library (and I think that the only two things that update world touched was gcc and the manpages). Is there a fix for this, can someone tell me where I screwed up? I attempted to emerge the gcc package several times to no avail. Thanks!!! (Btw I appologize for posting this twice -- I posted this to the newbie group as well, however I realized that this may not be a newbie question after-all).

I still use gcc-3.1-r4 and this supplies the library. I've checked the ebuilds and ChanceLog and didn't find a clue why it should not build libstdc++, have you tried re-emerging the old gcc (the one that was working?).

Yes I've tried to look through the changelogs as well -- even did a search on google and the closest I found to this is a problem with a cvs version of gcc which wouldn't build the libraries... How can I reemerge the old version of the library? I've tried and it says that it isn't found.... I also tried to login to the ftp-dir and find it but only found a tar archive for gcc-3.1 in general and not different releases. Thanks.

I have the file still in my portage tree, but somehow it always wants to build the latest release, think you can do

Okay I tried what you said -- with r5 the same thing happens as with r6 -- namely I still have no libstdc++.so.4, and the compile for r4 bombs out for me with the error message:

No rule to make target /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.1-r4/work/build/gcc/../include/ansidecl.h needed by 'gengenrtl.o'.

I can't post the entire message since there are very few programs that I can run with the distro as it is (a web browser is not one of them). Could this be related to me actually having the following libraries:

libstdc++.so.2.8*
libstdc++.so.2.7*

There * means that there are a couple of versions of these present there. I think these may be the comptility libraries (just a shot in the dark here) which is why I could actually recompile blackbox so at least I have a window manager running. Thanks again.

Yep missing the last two.... I'm rebuilt yet again with USE flags set to "" in my make.conf and with CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS simply set to -march=i486 and now the libraries were built with r5.... Going to see which one caused the odditity and i'll post back. Whew didn't have to reinstall though ;-)

, that makes me happy.... Thanks for all your help!

I had that problem once.
I had to run bootstrap.sh to have working gcc again. I was with 2.95
