Thanks, that link helped. I was unable to deal with libstdc++ as it also requires gcc 3.4.4, however those instructions changed the error to "cannot comute sizeof (long double)" which the upgrade guide http://wren.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=1&style=printable does mention. In the solution, it goes back to the 2004.3 profile, emerges an emul package, then links 2005.0 and continutes. This changed the error to an inability to resolve -lm. Fortunately equery belongs showed the emul package that libm.so belongs to, so I went back to 2004.3, emerged it, linked again to 2005.0 and finally gcc 3.4.4 has merged! I'm now merging glibc. Note that the ugrade guide mentions doing # emerge unmerge emul-linux-x86-glibc I believe (haven't checked yet) that this step is the cause of all my complications, and prevets firefox from working (and any other binary package linked against the emul libraries). I also recommend backing up the 2004.3 profile, as emerge --sync may remove it, and its the easist way to emerge old emul packages. -- [email protected] mailing list
