 |
|
I wanted to fully upgrade my gentoo computers (starting with the 'test' machine), and i tought that 'emerge -vaUD' would do the trick. This actually worked very nice op to the moment kdelibs got it's turn, when it had problems finding libtools. After looking around i found out it was trying to get it from the dir /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3.4 , while the only ones around where 3.3 and 3.3.5 .
Is this a one time quirk or is this becouse the way i tought to upgrade old libs and stuff was completely off? I also noticed some other progs like PHP and xpdf not working correctly anymore because of the same directory problems (and also not emerging right).
And, what is the _proper_ way to upgrade libaries and other stuff?
edit: fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.4 did the trick

That the standard, basic way to update a system, although the upper-case 'U' (upgradeonly) is deprecated because the lower-case 'u' (update) is more robust.
Try running | Code: | | fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.4 |
to fix the libtools problem. Also, run and make sure that the compiler version that you want to use is marked by the asterisk.
If this doesn't work, you may have to do a more thorough rebuild. This means rebuilding the toolchain repeatedly and then rebuilding the entire world with the new toolchain:
| Code: | emerge linux-headers && emerge linux-headers glibc && emerge glibc binutils gcc && emerge binutils gcc
emerge --emptytree world |
This will take a long time, though. If you're using linux26-headers instead of a version 2.4.x of linux-headers, just change linux-headers to linux26-headers above.
Feel free to reply if these don't get your system reasonably consistent. If you haven't updated in a long time, it can take some fiddling to get everything right. |

| Maybe that this topic can help you. I think you have to look for a solution in that direction. |

Correction: it's deadly.
