Yes, that WAS clear enough. So we have an even more nasty documentation bug in the gentoo installation handbook (it tells to ``emerge --emptytree system'') and a nasty portage (or was it bootstrap?) bug (it tells me to be aware, that we need to add -e to emerge system now after finishing. > For your gcc-problem, there is the fix script, others mentioned - but a lot > of > times all that is needed is to run gcc-config to set the correct gcc. gcc-config ran after the installation. (see in one fo my further posts, there was the "Native compiler changed to ..." amongst the messages. I've found (with some help of b.g.o.) that these ARE bugs. Here's the whole success story. scripts/bootstrap.sh #to work around the autoconf dependency bug emerge --oneshot --nodeps autoconf emerge --oneshot --nodeps aotoconf-wrapper #to work around the python-fchksum dependency bug emerge --oneshot --nodeps python emerge --emptytree system No fix_libtool_files.sh necessary. Why? There never was an older version of gcc. Some words to the autoconf ... will start a new thread. So much to the ability. Frank PS: You're a German?
