Emerge problems with Xorg

[spencerf]

correct me if I wrong but I looked in the handbook and it appears that your CHOST setting should be: i686-pc-linux-gnu .........instead of what you have. Unless you did a stage 3 and this was the predefined setting. The guide specifially warns not to change CHOST it you did a stage3 so if you did a stage 3 then I'm wrong and don't change it! But the guide shows this as the setting for 64 bit arch. If thats what you have.

just as a suggestion you should also have some USE settings for optimization and CFLAGS setting.

The CHOST setting is perfectly right if you build for an AMD64-CPU.

I am currently building Gentoo from Stage 1, and got stuck in Stage 2 for the second time now. First time, dialog complained about missing ncursesw, which I could fix by

USE="unicode" emerge --nodeps ncurses

Now I got stuck with the same error you had (I guess, I would be sure if you had quoted one more line, my xorg (or rather ld) was complaining about not finding -lfl (which, indeed, was not there)). Thanks to the hint given in this forum, emerging flex did the job for me (even with very aggressive optimizations (-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=opteron)

I hope, the rest of the install goes smooth this time. I installed x86 Gentoo the other day, which worked really well (and is as fast as one can get, i believe)!

I had (changed from have ) the same problem but only on one computer (I have Gentoo on 3 different computers 2xPentium4 + 1Amd64) the one with Pentium4 and in 2 days in between I did/tried installation on both Pentium4 computers (though not identical). To be more correct on the first one (where I succeed) I "just" did reinstallation because I've lost boot-partition (long story to make it simple I wrote grub on wrong partition because I forgot that I swaped the drives - I have laptop with two disks - winxp/linux with linux on secondary disk - to be able to boot from cd-rom I had to put disk2 in place of the first one and when I've got this briliant idea to put xp-disk in grub I was already forgotten what I did in the begining - something I did 10 months ago).
Any way to make it short: "emerge flex" fixed it.
Thanks!

First, here is my error list;

And finally I have a pentium M celeron in a hp pavilion ze4900 (ze4935wm to be exact) my make.conf looks pretty much like '-02 march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer' I have no use variables included or excluded, just nice plain an empty. MAKEOPTS="-j2" and CONFIG_PROTECT="-*"
I've installed stage3 i686 and my portage~.gz from gentoo's mirrors while running from a live-cd dist from 20050303. I downloaded my distfiles/* from gentoo's mirrors also and emerge --sync daily. I've even tried using outdated packages, and installed flex too! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
