C compiler cannot create executables -- deep problem

pr3st0 · 10-15-2004, 02:58 PM

Hi there,

I use Gentoo and I'm having trouble to solve it...
Hope you can help me out!

Code:

 
~# emerge -a "<sys-devel/gcc-3.4.2-r2"

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1
[ebuild UD] sys-devel/gcc-3.4.1-r3 [3.4.2-r2]

.

How can I solve this compiler problem?

It looks it can't find as program. Are you able to run it from the command line?
as --version

Look at the instructions in /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/README.RESCUE, and try using one of the portage rescue tarballs located in /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/ to get portage working again.

I did follow the directions of RESCUE.README, but I'm still having the same problems:

Most likely a typo on the CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS variable in /etc/make.conf. Can you please do the following:
1. Post the output of
Code:
emerge info

2. Delete the temp directories via
Code:
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage-pkg

3. Try to re-emerge one of the offending packages, for example libsdl, and after it fails, post the content of the config.log file, which will be located in /var/tmp/portage/libsdl-1.2.7-r1/work/libsdl-1.2.7-r1/config.log (note that if your libsdl version is different the directory name will be different, adjust accordingly)

Thank you...
I did that and i also copied binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1.tbz2 to /usr/portage/packages/All.
and # emerge --usepkgonly binutils...

It's king of working now.... but I'm getting errors when updating binutils.... I guess
I'll stay with that version...

Any comments about this?

comprookie2000 · 10-16-2004, 11:34 AM

Post your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS also try emerge -pu world see what it says,look closely at those flags and make sure the syntax is right -O2 the O is the letter not the number 0 I did that one time.

solved problem with:

Code:

revdep-rebuild

thank you everyone.
