I receive simular errors such as this one above. Happens when i try to emerge KDE, Apache, IRSSI, SLOCATE & Other applications, This is a fresh install of Gentoo-2.6.11-gentoo-r6.

Any help would be welcome.

Please can you post more of the error - the last twenty lines or so should be ok. What you've posted there just says that something has gone wrong, but doesn't give any clues as to what.

You might try to upgrade your version of pkgconfig.

I had the same Problem. And it was simple to solve.

My cflags line in make.conf was wrong.

It was CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer" but my system only had a Pentium 3 Processor.


I corrected the line and everything was fine
