I did "emerge sync && emerge -u world", which eventually wanted to upgrade gcc. However, the merge failed with:
/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.2.2/temp/fix_libtool_files.sh: line 40: [: too many arguments gawk: fatal: can't open source file `portage:' for reading (No such file or directory) The upshot is that the system is now GCC-less, and related libs are non-existent, so for example: # emerge python2.2: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What's the easiest way for me to fix the system? I assume it's possible to install a dummy copy of gcc in order to bootstrap emerge, but then again the GCC install through emerge failed in the first place. Oh, and: # cat /etc/gentoo-release Gentoo Base System version 1.4.2.3 Thanks, A. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
