pakk,

baselayout isn't fully "fixed" until you can successfully emerge it. Try
Code:
emerge -1vq baselayout
to see if you can do that. @world update only after that.

- John


right

Code:
* Converting /usr/lib from a dir to a symlink
 * ERROR: sys-apps/baselayout-2.3::gentoo failed (setup phase):
 *   non-empty dir found where we needed a symlink: /usr/lib


Split from gcc setup [SOLVED] as this was really a good demarcation for a new topic. — JRG

move everything in /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 then remove /usr/lib and let baselayout create a symlink

and that will probably fix the global problem of broken apps

pakk,

Read
Code:
cp --help
you are missing a option.
cp works on files. If you want it to copy directories too, you need to tell it.

You may need to run ldconfig after you rename the directory. Anyhow, all these problems would be much easier to fix if we knew what was done to mess it up like this.

pakk

Code:
# cp /usr/lib/* /usr/lib64/
# rm -r /lib


I really hope you didn't do that.
/usr/lib/ contains directories that will not be copied by that cp command. You need cp -a or cp -r to copy directories.

Did you intend to operate on /lib or /usr/lib?
They are not the same place.

pakk,

These details are important. mv would have worked.
Code:
ln -s <real_path> <symbolic_path>


For /usr/lib its
Code:
cd /usr
ln -s lib64 lib


Code:
ls -l
will include.
Code:
lib -> lib64

pakk,

Now you can do
Code:
emerge -e @world --keep-going
and fix any failures once emerge stops.
If there were failures, it will leave a list on the screen.

pakk,

@world is everything in /var/lib/portage/world and all of the dependences too.
It will include @system as a result.
You can look at /var/lib/portage/world if you want to but you must not edit it.

You can see the difference for yourself. Compare the outputs of
Code:
emerge -ep @system

and
Code:
emerge -ep @world


Neither of those commands will install anything.

ok thanks.

at the end of compilation, is there a log that lists failures ?

and after fixing all, do I have to run:

Code:
# dispatch-conf
# revdep-rebuild -i
# eclean-dist -id

pakk,

The list of failures, if there are any, will be on screen.
Code:
dispatch-conf
Yes.

Code:
revdep-rebuild
is old. Its been replaced with
Code:
emerge @preserved-rebuild

Portage will tell you if you need to run that but its in place of revdep-rebuild.
Older versions of portage used to leave your system broken until revdep-rebuild completed. Newer versions keep the old code around, so everything still works and asks you to run emerge @preserved-rebuild to tidy up and remove the old code. revdep-rebuild is not incorrect.

eclean-dist will remove all the source tarballs you no longer need. Thats a good thing but not essential.

There is another command too.
Code:
emerge --depclean -p
Over time, abandoned dependencies (orphaned packages) build up on your system.
This command will remove them, (without the -p). However, it may want to remove things that you want to keep so study the list before you run it.

There are one or two things to be aware of. Only the latest versions are kept.
So, if you have a newer gcc than the one you are using, your active gcc will be removed. The fix for that is gcc-config but you have used that command before.
The same is true of your kernel sources.

yes but I use gentoo in CLI mode without desktop, and then without terminal with scroll, so I can't see all messages.

Compilation is over now and I just see 2 messages.

pakk,

You can scroll up with Shift+PageUp and down with Shift+PageDown

What are the messages?
The messages that matter are right at the end of the output.

I would expect something about files in /etc need to be updated and about emerge @preserved-rebuild

thanks for tips but shift + pgUP has no effect.
messages say: run fix_thing.sh if you use an old version of gcc; install libtxn if you want to have a better render with 8w3d something.
actually no failures.

I noticed in your other thread you have no -march set in CFLAGS. This is suboptimal, you may want to set it to native and rebuild.

pakk,

You will spend longer rebuilding than the time you will save after the rebuild.
If you change your CFLAGS, the changes will take effect with updates.
