1 Hi there, I've been trying to upgrade my Gentoo Laptop to 3.4.6 with the
2 upgrade guide.. Everything seemed to go OK except now when I issue
3 emerge --sync I get the message
4
5 >>> Starting retry 3 of 3 with rsync://140.211.166.165/gentoo-portage
6 >>> Checking server timestamp ...
7 rsync: failed to connect to 140.211.166.165: Connection refused (111)
8 rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(107)
9 [receiver=2.6.8]
10 .

12 I thought maybe I would repeat the upgrade process but can't get passed
13 "emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3". The compilation starts and then
14 always seems to freeze at
15
16 "In file included from
17 /var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/expr.c:39
18 /var/tmp/portage/libstdc++-v3-3.3.4/work/gcc-3.3.4/gcc/recog.h:227: warning
19 type of bit-field "mode" is a GCC extension."
20
21 I have a feeling I removed all the old GCC versions previously with
22 "emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-3.3*" which is why it keeps failing.
23
24 Another problem is that my laptop randomly freezes solid since upgrading GCC
25 necessating a power cycle in order to get going again.
26
27 I'm sort of thinking of rebuilding my system from scratch (presumably with
28 emerge -e system and then emerge -e world) or am I just wasting lots of
29 time.

31 I susppect I've done something stupid ...
32
33 Thanks anyone, Richard
