Hi there, I've been trying to upgrade my Gentoo Laptop to 3.4.6 with the upgrade guide.. Everything seemed to go OK except now when I issue emerge --sync I get the message
Starting retry 3 of 3 with rsync://140.211.166.165/gentoo-portage Checking server timestamp ...
rsync: failed to connect to 140.211.166.165: Connection refused (111) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(107) [receiver=2.6.8] . I thought maybe I would repeat the upgrade process but can't get passed "emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3". The compilation starts and then always seems to freeze at "In file included from /var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/expr.c:39 /var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/recog.h:227: warning type of bit-field "mode" is a GCC extension." I have a feeling I removed all the old GCC versions previously with "emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*" which is why it keeps failing. Another problem is that my laptop randomly freezes solid since upgrading GCC necessating a power cycle in order to get going again. I'm sort of thinking of rebuilding my system from scratch (presumably with emerge -e system and then emerge -e world) or am I just wasting lots of time. I susppect I've done something stupid ... Thanks anyone, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
