I'm doing a stage 1 install on a K6-3/400 with the hopes of building a MythTV recorder. Everything runs smoothly until I do an emerge -e system. It fails every time (and I've tried this more than once with fresh installs) on python-fchksum. The error messages are as follows:
Code:
>>> emerge (10 of 90) dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1 to /
>>> md5 files   ;-) python-fchksum-1.7.1.ebuild
>>> md5 files   ;-) python-fchksum-1.6.1-r1.ebuild
>>> md5 files   ;-) ChangeLog

And my make.conf file:

CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="3dnow alsa mysql mysqli ogg avi -cups -gpm -kde -gnome -mikmod -quicktime -svga -X -X11 -xmms -bmp java"


Any suggestions?

Try running fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.4 (or whatever gcc version you have)

this is a very common problem -- Stage 1 installs are prone to circular dependency issues with python, and python is reknown for static library retention issues when changing a CHOST. the solutions are well documented.. have you tried the search function?

if you search for "python-fchksum" you'll find plenty of threads that tell you that the python package needs to be emerged before you emerge -e system.

Thankyou. Emerging python first seems to have fixed the problem. It appears to be running quite nicely now. Somebody should add that to the install handbook.

Haha! :lol:

the disappointing thing about this problem is that every time somebody writes a bug report, they dismiss it with "INVALID" or "WON'T FIX" as the solution. :x

personally, i think that the python ebuild maintainer needs to work a little harder. :roll:

For me too, emerging "python" first solved the problem. Thanks.

Bob P's explanation here should also be helpful.

Not quite true, I used your stage3/1 installtion and I ran into the bug since I used a x86 tarball and not a P4 one that I should of.
I submitted a bug and yes it did get closed, BUT it got opened again quite quickly and they are trying to fix it

looks like it will be easier to fix when Python2.4 becomes the LiveCD standard

i;m glad to hear that a bug report is still open. mine got closed a long time ago with the "won't fix" resolution, which is why i gave up on trying to solve the problem.

Wow, I just ran into this bug while guiding a friend through installing Gentoo for the first time and I must say the conversation in the bug report did not give a good impression of devs. Not only does the handbook clearly state to change the CHOST for nptl support it only makes sense that users will choose the option that matches their hardware.

This statement...

Code:

I'm sorry to hear that, but this is not my fault.  You could have easily chosen
a stage3 installation and saved yourself a good number of hours in doing your
installation.


...really takes the cake.

I run over this bug and to be honest I searched google (eheheh) and a good guy there wrote to go to the /usr/i?86-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3.5/ directory (mine is /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3.6/) and just do a symbolic link like
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
It seemed correct by the way cause if you notice in emerge that packet the first command is i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc and after that systems complaned that it isnt found.
I ve tried it and now everything is ok .
Thanks for your time :)

For the record:

The command below will save you some time by allowing you to do a full emerge of python when python-fchksum does its abortion thing, and still be able to resume the previous "emerge -e system".

Note: You must do this command right after python-fchksum crashes. Do not run any other emerge commands, not even "emerge --info"!
Code:
cp /var/cache/edb/mtimedb /mtimedb && emerge --oneshot python && mv /mtimedb /var/cache/edb/mtimedb && emerge --resume

That's brilliant! So portage will think it should continue happily with emerge --resume, even though another emerge ­--oneshot was issued in the meantime. :D

A very fine voodoo. I think I'll add that to my spellbook :mrgreen:

PostPosted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 10:31 am    Post subject: OK..same problem, very new to gentoo. Reply with quote

Hi, I'm very new when it comes to gentoo (been using slack on my server the last 5 years) and am trying it on my winblows (gaming) computer since wine seems to support gentoo primarily, and I'm dying to one day get rid of winblows completely.

Anyway, I've seen in these forums that this is a very known problem, although all the posts I found with the search seem to be really old. I'm using the graphical installer, stage 1, downloading latest, and I got this error:

Quote:

>>> emerge (21 of 191) dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1 to /
>>> md5 files ;-) python-fchksum-1.6.1-r1.ebuild
>>> md5 files ;-) python-fchksum-1.7.1.ebuild
>>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-python-fchksum-1.6.1-r1
>>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-python-fchksum-1.7.1
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) python-fchksum-1.7.1.tar.gz
Exception received:
Stage2Error :FATAL: stage2: Building the system failed!


and I haven't found any thread in this forum with the same error message (only common thing seems to be "python-fchksum" and the failing)

So, my questions are, can I fix this, and how?
And how do I resume with the graphical installer? (it would be a pain in the a$$ in one is to restart from scratch every time the graphical installer fails)

help on any of my questions will be very appreciated. :cry:

Very useful trick in conjunction with emerge --resume! Thanks, kimichi_sg!

Just when you think you know everything about portage... :D
