This is my second gentoo install, and on the same machine. Last time, I
did a stage 1. Though it took quite some time to get it right. The
system got munged, and I decided to correct things by doing a fresh
install, a Stage 3 install. It's been going fine until...
section 14:
during 'emerge -u world', compiling of ncurses-5.3 (the first item)
failed with "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check.
Interestingly, during the compiling "checks"...
first it says we ARE using 'gcc', then later, it says no.
libc.h.... no
how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocesssor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
!!! ERROR: sys-libs/ncurses-5.3-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 262, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
In irc channel #gentoo, it was suggested I do a 'emerge gcc-config'. I
did, to no avail.
This is very frustrating, because, upto this point, all that's really
been going on is simple hardware setup, with the exception of editing
/etc/make.conf. So, to have a show stopping error right at the
beginning is bad.
Additionally, I'm not seeing any other reports of this problem from
anyone else. What is it that _I_ could have done that's different from
everyone else?
The only place for _me_ to make a configuration error and get this kind of
problem at this point would be, I assume, in /etc/make.conf. I've tried
numerous variations, including no changes, no P4, whatever. I always
get the same error.
I just don't understand how this could be happening.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
