gcc-config error: could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnugcc"
error: command 'I386-pclinux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

dev-python/python-fchksum 1.7.1 failed

I am using the 2005.0 disk and installing on an athlon +2500

this is when I move to stage 3 (so "emerge --emptytree system" is what I typed)

Any help is much apreacted

I'm not sure on this but shouldn't you have used the x86 installation as I think the I386 is for Intel, I could be wrong though.

The x86 disk is for athlons as well as intels I used the right disk I know that

hi all, I wanted to chime in because I'm getting the same exact error trying to do a gentoo 2005.1 stage1 install on a pentium 4 machine. I can't post my emerge --info as I'm posting this from links, so if there's any specifc information that would be useful from there so that we can get to the bottom of this, please let me know.

hmmm, and in my case? I started from an x86 stage1 tarball and I'm compiling with i686 for chost and march=pentium4 as a cflag, those should be kosher, no?

this python problem is very extensively documented as a snafu on Stage 1 installs. there literally have to be THOUSANDS of posts on that subject. a simple search for the "python-fchksum" error that was displayed on your screen would have given you the answer:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-348363-highlight-pythonfchksum.html
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-314985-start-401.html

at the risk of soundling like a wise guy, you guys should really try the search feature. its very helpful, and it saves alot of unnecessary typing on everyone's part. :wink:

on a related subject, there is no good reason to perform a Stage 1 install when a Stage 3 tarball already exists for your architecture. but for some reason, people tend to believe that a Stage 1 install provides them with something special. it doesn't.

I did search quite a bit before posting, just not competently it seems....

Ah well, thanks for the help just the same.

getting the right text into the search string is the key to success. if you simply search for "python-fchksum" you will see A LOT of helpful threads. the bottom line is that you need to emerge python before your emerge -e system because of a circular dependency issue.

have fun.

Just for a little note I did start from stage 1

And I just emerged python and started emerge -empty tree system again

thanks for all the help
