I can't say much on the reasons for your losing the gcc, but as to saving your system: you made a backup before --depclean, right? use it, or at least the gcc bit. or else take the gcc out of a dated backup and do a bootstrap. without backup, you can get a gcc binary from elsewhere (probably requiring the rest of the toolchain, too) and put it into the old gcc's place. then do a bootstrap, that is, compile gcc, glibc, and probably binutils for good measure for a couple times until the binaries do not change no more. for all practical purposes, three passes should do and you are back in business. or cross-compile a gcc for that machine, take another gentoo-hardened gcc or... good luck, andre -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG8PqUhYOgL/M0VS0RAoQjAJ9eQjJj390gh1AcFYQk7Jw3pxXdbgCfXhz7 oZyYBxQJbMulWB8rB/y4dbA= =fHEp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
