1 Hi-
2 I recently tried recompiling my system with 'emerge -e world', but
3 ncurses won't build. The relevant output is:
4 cd ../obj_s; /usr/bin/g++ -I../c++ -I../include
5 -I/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r6/work/ncurses-5.4/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
6 -I/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r6/work/ncurses-5.4/c++/../include -I.
7 -I../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 -xB -march=pentiumii -fPIC
8 -c /var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r6/work/ncurses-5.4/c++/demo.cc

21 The reason I'm recompiling is I'm trying to get my system compiled with
22 ICC. I followed the instructions at the gentoo Wiki
23 (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ICC_and_Portage ), including adding
24 ncurses to /etc/portage/package.gcc, so it should be trying to compile
25 with GCC (and therefore this shouldn't be an ICC problem). Any help
26 would be greatly appreciated.
