Hi!

I changed my profile from:
Code:
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1/no-multilib

to
Code:
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop

meaning that my /etc/make.profile points now to the desktop profile.

After having upgrading the kernel-headers we need to re-emerge glibc.

glibc fails to emerge complaining about not finding "/lib/cpp".

Then i tried to re-emerge gcc and it fails with this error:
Code:
/gnu/stubs.h not found
.

What do I have to do to be able to emerge glibc and gcc???

EDIT: After having read the config.log from glibc-2.4-r4
I found that it was looking for /usr/lib32. I did not check the config.log from gcc
but I suppose it may be the same.


How can I change my profile from no-multilib to desktop?

I changed back my profile to no-multilib meanwhile.

Thank you for your help!!


Serge

I am not sure, but when I did this in the past, I ended reinstalling gcc, glibc and binutils from binary prebuilt (multilib capable) packages. I don't know if there is any other way though. Once you have a multilib toolchain just change the profile and all should be fine. I found no other way to make it work.

Sorry, but you can't do this.

Yeah, you can, it's just totally unsupported hehehe.

If you have a multilib capable toolchain in binary packages, you can compile anything you want. And, of course, you can change the profile, though, as I said, you got to keep the pieces if something break.

Of course, if you ask the Gentoo manuals you cant, portage could only support this feature through binary packages as I say (since a no-multilib gentoo cannot compile a toolchain with 32 bits pieces), and even then I suspect that some other problems could arise.

For the record, I tried this myself some time ago (not having read that part of the FAQ), and had some big time sandbox/gcc related issues, and the use flags totally freaked out.

Thank you very much for your help.

I will keep being on a pure 64bit system...
