I have been getting this error for several emerges I am trying to do for a stage 1 install.
Anybody know what this means?
!!! ERROR: perl-core/Test-Simple-0.64 failed
(I tried to do an enege perl but then I got this error:
"error: C++ preprocessor "ib/cpp" fails sanity check
!!! ERROR: sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p4-r2 failed)

Hi there.
As it is written in the emerge output, you need to paste here the topmost build error (usually the last 30-35 lines of the emerge output).
Also, it is always useful to post emerge --info.
Thanks  |

error: C++ preprocessor "ib/cpp" fails sanity check is the top most build error. |

| You seem to be missing the C++ compiler. Did you install GCC properly? |

I thought so. Would emerge GCC fix that? |

Well, you are builing from a Stage 1... I never did that and it is not supported by the Gentoo documentation.
Gentoo developpers recommend to start from a Stage 3. Once installed, doing emerge --sync and emerge -e system would give you a fresh built Gentoo, like the Stage 1 install.
But... emerging GCC does compiles it. As you don't have any compiler, you can't compile the compiler itself 
I don't know where people doing a stage 1 install get GCC, but this is surely a precompiled binary |

Well other things are compiling though. For instance the kernel and other misc packages. Grub would not but Lilo did!
I just booted the system but got a hang at:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,2) |

Well, some things build and other not... where did you get GCC if you did not emerged it?
You should emerge -e system. That will recompile all the base packages that you have, and bring that ones you are missing...
If they don't build... try to emerge gcc alone... |

I ran emerge-snyc before kernel compile.
The only thing is I can't really run another full compile or this laptop will crash on me. It's a POS and it's got I/O errors that keep locking up the system. |

| Hmmm... I would at least recompile GCC, as you get C++ compile errors for other packages.... |

This is truley strange. GCC emerge ends with the same error! I'm now adding packages manually. |

I went ahead and did a fresh install. I'm pretty sure this is an error due to my hardware. Lots os I/O errors. Surprisingly enough not the disk drive... that's brand new. |
