stage 1 bootstrap error: gcc fails on libart_lgpl [SOLVED]

wonko.the.sane · --------------------------------- libart_lgpl-2.3.16 config.log:

first of all hello everyone!!!

i'm new to gentoo and have been trying to make a stage 1 install with 2004.3 and knoppix on my amd duron for quite some time now. considering the problems i've encountered, i've ventured quite far at the moment using knoppix 3.7 -- big hurray for the gentoo forums!!!

after resolvingh problems with gettext and texinfo, i-m trying to emerge gcc now. it faills on one of the first packages (i think only one went ok beforehand), namely libart_lgpl-2.3.16.

i had no luck searching for that specific problem on forums and gentoo, so i'm asking you guys to help me out :)

up until now, i tried updating the environment and resuming several times with bootstrap -r.

i feel i don't have enough experience to be able strip any of the following information, so sorry about the huge dump of files. plus, my (used-to-be?) server is unreachable so i can't upload to any public server at the moment...

well, here goes:

---------------------------------
the output of the bootstrap -r:

Try putting USE="" in your /etc/make.conf and bootstrap should go a lot smoother.

cyrillic's solution is not a good idea. The actual problem is that the "build" USE flag has been left out of bootstrap.sh. Just edit /usr/portage/scripts/bootstap.sh and make sure that "build" is on lines 276 and 280 (those are the lines in bootstrap.sh for 2004.3 x86, anyway).

P.S. In nano, Ctrl+C will display the current cursor position.

Using cyrillic's solution, you lose any effect your USE flags would have on the bootstrap. Besides that, the original problem will still remain even if bootstrap completes. It's always better to solve the problem.

i'm emerging system at the moment without any use flags as well, since it gave me an error trying with my original use flags.

once that is finished i want to make a backup of the installation on the second harddrive that resides in my computer and retry with my use flags.

however the emerge system also failed on package 13 of > 100. this was openssl and it apperently needed perl before that.

i guess i could have just "emerge --nodeps --oneshot perl" and "emerge --resume" afterwards, but i was afraid of running into a lot more problems later on, considering it was still loads of packages to go.

now it's only 60 packages being emerged and it seems to be running ok.

so here goes another question: how can i draw an image of the installation to my second, not entirely free but equally big harddisk?

will a simple "cp -R /mnt/gentoo /mnt/backup" work?

or maybe "dd", but i only want the real data, not the entire disk if possible...

There's a thread on that perl problem elsewhere in the forum, several in fact. I keep running across them while chasing down my own problem. I think the solution involved manually emerging libperl followed by perl, then rerunning 'emerge system'. Don't trust my memory though, search the forum and see if you can find one of the threads.

To copy your installation, use 'cp -a /mnt/gentoo /mnt/backup'. You may want to exclude subdirectories of /mnt/gentoo that are on a different parition, I belive the '-x' flag facilitates that (check cp's man page to be sure). Also, I always use the '-v' flag for verbose output, just so I can be sure the task isn't hanging.

Isaw a CFLAG with march=athlon... it should be march=athlon-xp

Sith_Happens · Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 10:16 pm Post subject:

I think either works for a duron, I've seen people compiling with both -march=athlon and -march=athlon-xp on AMD Duron processors. Remember to append [SOLVED] to the topic of your first post wonko.the.sane if your bootstrapping ok.

holidays are over... finally! now i can resume installing gentoo! :lol:

The bootstrapping went fine without the use flags. I backed up and will try to emerge --update --deep --new-use world now... from my working gentoo installation!!!

since it worked well, i think i'll keep the march=athlon as it is though.

well, grub is still giving me problems. i have to boot manually from the shell doing _exactly_ the same as in grub.conf :?. good thing there's loads on that in the forums.

so thanks heaps everyone for the help!!!

Hi, I recently had a similar problem..

The cause for me seemed to be the fact that I using my old make.conf for my new Stage 1 Installation..

Hehe,
It goes like "-* blah blah" with around 90 packages. The point is, that wild card possibly blocked out some of flags needed for certain things to compile.

It'd be neat if this could be added to the FAQ article on this! I'de paste the URL but I'm sorta in links2 at the moment.
