That was it. > Can you emerge any package which requires the C-compiler? > Try > gcc-config -l $ gcc-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 * [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 * $ qfile i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc (/etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2) I did have the cross-compiler stuff installed when I was experimenting with distcc, but I removed it long ago. Looks like something hung on. A simple emerge -C cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc corrected the problem, as now: $ gcc-config -l [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 * ...and emerge -q1 sandbox runs to completion. I still don't know though why only sandbox was affected - 21 other packages were merged ok. > I hope this helps, Certainly did - thanks. Now to figure out how to resume the emerge -e world from where it stopped :-) Thanks also to the others who offered help. -- Rgds Peter
