 |
|
Hi,
I had a working system (2005.0 profile) with NO multilib,
but now I'd like to switch to multilib anyway, mainly because I need OpenOffice.
I tried to follow the notorious howto, but that was written if you need to upgrade from 2004.3!
I'm afraid my attempt was rather destructive, I now get "It appears you have switched tot the 2005.0 profile without following the upgrade guide",
for EVERY ebuild I try to emerge. I can't even switch back to 2005/no-multilib 
Please tell me I don't have to downgrade to 2004 and take it from there  |

try the following:
| Code: | step one: change the /etc/make.profile back to the 2004.3 profile
step two: make sure multilib is listed in your USE-flags
step three: FEATURES=-sandbox emerge gcc
step four: emerge glibc
step five: emerge portage (emerge should report something like: "found valid multilib-environment building multilib")
step six: change simlink back to 2005.0 profile
step seven: either use the makefile of the upgrade guide to upgrade to 2005.0 or do it manually |
this should do the trick |
