I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem. I recently build 2 machines, and installed distcc on both of them. I followed the Gentoo Distcc guide to get everything set up.
Then, it didn't work. Distcc did not distribute any compile tasks to the other computers. I tracked it down as far as I can. It looks like there are not any links from the /usr/lib/distcc/bin directory to the distcc binary. On a working machine, the contents of /usr/lib/distcc/bin are: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 c++ -> /usr/bin/distcc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 cc -> /usr/bin/distcc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 g++ -> /usr/bin/distcc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 gcc -> /usr/bin/distcc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++ -> /usr/bin/distcc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -> /usr/bin/distcc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Dec 2 2003 i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -> /usr/bin/distcc On the two new machines, the directory was completely empty. For a short term solution, I created the links on the PCs that did not have them. I checked bugs.gentoo.org and could not find anything that seemed related. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a bug?
