You need to post more information to figure out what the problem is, it seems unlikely that the line you posted is the only error indication at all. More likely the compile failed and the ebuild spit out whatever failure that was.

Also, you should not be surprised to experience rawness when you are using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86".

Code:
area51m root # emerge -p db

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2

area51m root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p db

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r2


It is helpful when asking for assistance to mention what your CFLAGS, USE, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS are and be verbose about the error. As you can see I did manage to get db-4.1.25_p1-r2 built on my laptop, but since I can't see what error you are getting, I don't know what if any special steps I took.

Subject says it all, I fixed this by installing sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2.
Not sure why emerge --upgradeonly world didn't do this :?

PostPosted: Tue Dec 16, 2003 1:21 pm    Post subject: This db error is due to that bootstrap don't locate g++ Reply with quote

It happens me exactly this, at the bootstrap when compiling sys-lybs/db-4.0 bootstrap tries to locate g++ and this makes the error. (even in stage1 or stage2)

My CFLAGS are "-O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=athlon -ffast-math".

I don't understand why happen this at the stable gentoo.

Can anyone help me?
