It's all a blur. It was trying to re-emerge something related to gcc and |
2 |
python was blocking it so I unmerged it. |
3 |
I've got python back using quickpkg like you suggested. Now I'm working on |
4 |
getting gcc to work. I did a quickpkg on gcc but emerge still fails with a |
5 |
'C compiler cannot create executables' error. |
6 |
I'm pretty sure I'm using a working version. |

gcc-config -l |

Yes, you should be able to use that. Python is SLOTted, so even if your |
32 |
other box is using a different SLOT, you can emerge the version you |
33 |
need, quickpkg it, copy it over to the first machine and unpack it |
34 |
there. |
35 |
|
36 |
quickpkg's are just tarballs so you can even use good old tar and |
37 |
bunzip2 if you managed to go to the next step of dohness and unmerge |
38 |
portage as well :-) |
39 |
|
40 |
btw, how did you manage to unmerge python? That's in system and portage |
41 |
usually goes to great lengths to prevent you doing just that |
