You should really step first at the documentation and then ask about it, gentoo doesn't have 'new isos to install', it has stage3 tarballs. you are trying to see gentoo as a binary distro. Did you even tried to read the message before asking? Didn't this told you anything? (From your log): --- * LLVM-3.6.2 requires C++11-capable C++ compiler. Your current compiler * does not seem to support -std=c++11 option. Please upgrade your compiler * to gcc-4.7 or an equivalent version supporting C++11. * ERROR: sys-devel/llvm-3.6.2::gentoo failed (pretend phase): * Currently active compiler does not support -std=c++11 --- gcc-config: error: could not run/locate 'i686-pc-linux-gnu-cpp' * ERROR: x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.2-r1::gentoo failed (pretend phase): * Sorry, but gcc earlier than 4.0 will not work for xorg-server. ---- Upgrade your compiler and try again. But I should say from reading your email you don't seem to have the attitude to be a gentoo user and enjoy it, if this made think about reinstalling without even giving a good read to that error message, I've using gentoo for ~2 years, and even then 4.7 or 4.6, I remember was already a stable compiler, are you sure you haven't upgraded in a significant more time than you say?
