Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I """installed""" Gentoo 2005.1.r1 the first time on a hd. |
| 4 |
I used a stage 3 downloaded from teh internet. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
But I fear, I haven't understand a certain aspect of emerge |
| 8 |
not correctly. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The problems arised as I tried to update the installed gcc-3.4.3 |
| 11 |
to gcc-4.02. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I understood, that this is a change with more impact to the system |
| 14 |
as for example installing slocate... :) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I think I did it a described in the docs...("think" means: Before |
| 17 |
doing so I was sure, but concerning the results of my doing, I am |
| 18 |
no longer sure.... ;) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
What happens: The version of gcc changes to gcc-3.4.4. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In my /usr/portage there were files concerning gcc-4.02 (and even |
| 23 |
gcc-4.1.beta*). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But they were silently ignored. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Then I tried to specify the version of gcc while using emerge... |
| 28 |
But this failed totally with syntax errors. I tried different |
| 29 |
syntactically variation, from which I *thought* to be correct |
| 30 |
after reading in the docs to emerge, but no success. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The final plan of all this is to install Gentoo as the working horse |
| 33 |
on my new PC, since my old PC (from which I currently mailing) is |
| 34 |
very old and buggy (hardware probs) and has to be replaced as soon |
| 35 |
as possible. The new one will be an Athlon 64 X2 bases system. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So I am experimenting on a free hd with Gentoo to decide, whether |
| 38 |
this will be my new Distro. Until now I was using/installing "Linux |
| 39 |
from scratch". |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Another problem I have is: Is it possible to convince emerge to use |
| 42 |
source archives (tar.gz, tar.bz2) of a newer version of a certain |
| 43 |
software as that one available vie gentoo sites??? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I dont have a flatrate and used to build new sources via patching and |
| 46 |
not via downloading the whole stuff again and again. This would cause |
| 47 |
pain to me aspecially when it comes to packages like new kernels or |
| 48 |
gnome/kde since they are very bulky. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Thank you very much for any help/response in advance! |

Have a nice sunday! |
