im having problems updating my system. when i do emerge -u world the update errors out when updating gcc, this sucks because it's the first package on the list (when i do pretend). I've still got 84 more packages to update. can i skip this package? is anyone else having the same problem? i've tried installing gentoo on another harddrive and am still gitting compile problems. also, i've changed the modules.conf line from -03 pipe to -02 and -00, i've even commented the whole thing out and still it craps out. wtf? any suggestions?

I had some troubles with rc3 and rc4 is out. Have you tried that?

You gave no error messages so I have no ideas. You can read them, I can't. /etc/modules.conf doesn't have any compiling options AFAIK.

oops ok. it's make.conf that i modified and when gcc errors out it says something like "error line 365 with no error messages" ill re-compile it and post the real message.

Try to emerge bison.That might help

im just gonna go to gentoo rc_4. thanks for the help though.

Newer... Gentoo 1.4 is out IIRC..

Cool

i tried rc4 and it didn't work, gcc crapped out again during the install. i'll try 1.4, if that doesnt work ill wait untill gcc is updated again. thanks.

closure. i got gentoo 1.4 running and it seems to be ok. is lynx included with gentoo anymore? i went to download stage1 like i always do during the install and it said "lynx command not found".

I know that it WAS included - may be they have replaced it with links? Just a thought

Once you chrooted it's not available in the chroot environment.If you need it just keep a konsole open in the regular (CD) environment.

Or emerge the pup?

Cool

what happened to the /etc/modules.autoload file? now theres a directory /etc/modules.autoload.d with two files in it, kernel-2.4 and kernel-2.5. ive tried modifying both to autoload my ethernet card module but neither work.
