 Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2003 7:10 pm Post subject: Stage 1 blows up |
 |
|
I decided to do download files before compilation:
| Code: | | scripts/bootstrap.sh -f |
Everything proceeded fine until i typed in:
at which point it starts off by trying to emerge gettext-0.12.1 which fails with the following:
| Code: |
...
checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See config.log for more details.
configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for autoconf-lib-link
!!! ERROR: sys-devel/gettext-0.12.1 failed.
!!! Function econf, line 324, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
|
After this I even went into the gettext work/ directory and tried compiling myself using ./configure just to see if the same errors appear and they do.
I followed every step word for word (including partitioning etc.) from the install guide. Willing to post any more information that might help. I have searched for this error and people have been getting it for different tar.bz2s so i dont think it has anything to do with gettext itself, but more with the compiler.
Any ideas?

du you have ~x86 in your make.conf file ?

Why is "emerge system" trying to compile sys-devel/gettext-0.12.1 ?
gettext should have been compiled already during bootstrap. |

To answer everyone's questions:
Do you have nls?
>> No i do not. My USE is currently commented out, and contains only the following:
| Code: | | #USE="X gtk gnome -alsa" |
Should it be added?
du you have ~x86 in your make.conf file ?
>> I do have:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" |
I started from a stage 1 install. I don't know what you mean by:

Nevertheless I guess the link posted by GentooBox should do the trick. Let me try that and if it works i will mark this as 'solved'.

After you ran
| Code: | | scripts/bootstrap.sh -f |
you did actually run
| Code: | | scripts/bootstrap.sh |
didn't you?
Cyrillic's right - emerge system really shouldn't go near gettext. The only way I can think of that it would would be if you hadn't actually run the bootstrap script...

Great...now i dont remember if i ran the bootstrap script!  That might just be it. Because i followed another link up in this thread and that sort of fixed the problem for gettext but left ncurses kind of broken with the same error. Is starting over my only hope?

The problem is you have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 in your make.conf. Are you sure you want this? That's why it's trying to emerge gettext, and apparently the gettext ebuild isn't happy with the version of gcc included on the cd.
Check out this post for more information.
The recommended solution would be to comment out the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS line in your make.conf until after you've bootstrapped (I thought this was in the documentation?) then do an emerge -U system/world to update the bleeding edge packages.

Oops. I see someone already pointed you at the other thread  , but I still think you should remove the x86 keyword until after bootstrapping.

Maybe the line is commented and he just omitted the # in his transposition?

I suppose it's possible, but X-Wing knew his USE line was commented and showed the # in his post, so I think he would have known if the ACCEPT_KEYWORD line was also commented.
Also, the problem he is describing is exactly what happens with x86 enabled during the bootstrap.

Ok to put this thread to 'sleep' I got it figured out. The basic screw up was I had not run bootstrap.sh. (feel free to bonk me over the head with a mallet any time now)
Laziness paid off to an extent because i didnt redo the filesystems...jsut proceeded to run the script in question and went on to smoothly (albeit slowly) compile everything including the base system components without any complaints about GCC's sanity.
Thanks for all the help anyhow.
Now if i may point you to my latest problem
