No, this really shouldn't be that bad. Look at the list of updates and |
| 18 |
apply certain updates first. glibc and gcc should probably be updated |
| 19 |
first, so just run: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
emerge -uDN1 glibc |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Since gcc-config could not find gcc 4.7, it is marked as stable, and |
| 24 |
emerge was not trying to install it, you must have a version hard-coded |
| 25 |
in `/var/lib/portage/world`. For now, to upgrade gcc you can just grab |
| 26 |
the newest version: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
emerge --oneshot gcc |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
From then on, it should go relatively smoothly, since emerge was |
| 31 |
handling all of the blockers. |

As Jc Garcia mentioned, Gentoo is not a `no sweat' distro. |
