Whenever I do a (well something like "emerge -uvDNp world", I get this:

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

That was a full log of emerge's output.

As you can see, it wants to update the currently installed version, and install the latest stable version of gcc.

I don't think I want this, how do I stop emerge from doing this?
~weed

[spencerf]

what gcc version are you currently using? Have you read the gcc upgrade guide? here

[genesus]

Just mask the packages then, man emerge and man portage both tell how to with little difficulty

[gloomy]

Or you could make a compelte gcc upgrade with a system & world updates.

Just upgraded to gcc 3.4.5 on amd64 myself. No problems whatsoever.

I have decided that I will update the system/world right after I reinstall the base gentoo when I reinstall gentoo on my laptop. I went a bit over the top when I was trying Gentoo for the first time. I totally screwed up my use flags.

~weed

[loft306]

at this point all you realy need to do is to edit your use flags and then simply either

emerge -e world

to simply rebuild the system & all the other packages or

emerge -N world

to simply re-emerge everything with the new Use flags. There is no need to reinstall

[Weedman]

That was a rather interesting experience.

Updating gcc on first install wasn't that hard, but the first time I did it, I didn't follow the instructions set on the Gentoo website. So I broke my system. Second attempt proved successful.

I then proceded to update system, and now I have a very up to date laptop indeed.

Thanks guys,
