i am new to gentoo linux and tried to install it from stage1. i followed the instructions from the installation doc from www.gentoo.org. but when it comes to the chrooting into the new installation the first "emerge sync" says that there is an update to portage available and that i should update before i install other packages. so i tried an portage update like described in the "portage user guide" with "emerge -u system". then some packages are downloaded, compiled and installed until it comes to the "ncurses" (ncurses-5.3-r1) package, configure fails with the following message: configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check why does this error occure? shouldn't i update portage as it says after the first "emerge sync"? can't portage update in this stage? how can i solve this problem? shouldn't i update portage at all? regards, martin
