Re: [gentoo-amd64] 2005.0 and multilib
David, still unclear. We have (-multilib)* Yes, brackets mean that the parameter can be changed. However, a) Inside the bracket is the default (unchangable value). Seeing there -multilib means for me that default is multilib disabled. b) Star (*) means that the parameter is changed relative to the value gcc was compiled with before. For me and the author of question, before gcc was compiled with multilib enabled. Thus star indicates that the new compilation will change that. Having alredy installed multilib gcc, I would expect to see (multilib) among USE flags, not (-multilib)* Pascal BERTIN wrote: Hi all, I upgraded from 2004.3 to 2005.0 using the Makefile method, everything went OK, but after all this, an emerge --newuse -puDv world wants to remerge gcc with following USE flag : (-multilib)* so, as 2005.0 is said to have multilib enabled by default, why would portage re-merge gcc without multilib ?

Re: [gentoo-amd64] 2005.0 and multilib
Hmmm, my profile says (-multilib) too, yet I am dead certain that the 32bit libs were compiled and placed in the right folders.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] 2005.0 and multilib
Well, it could well be a 'harmless' bug of misrepresentation of USE flags by emerge (say multilib is defined so deep inside the profile, that higher level tools don't see it, whatever this idea means). But the suggestion to irreversibly recompile gcc seemingly disabling multilib is certainly scaring :) Hmmm, my profile says (-multilib) too, yet I am dead certain that the 32bit libs were compiled and placed in the right folders.

That is a (quite common) misunderstanding: You just can't DISABLE it anymore, Well, you can always use the default-linux/amd64/2005.0/no-multilib profile :-D the USE-flag is no longer optional, and therefore written in brackets. Should this be inside the Gentoo/AMD64 Technotes? Probably it would help against all that uncertainty that obviously is caused by a behavior that emerge shows here. Just a small remark, that multilib USE flag isn't used on amd64. It is not even a bug, it's just a flaw in design that a USE-flag, that is not available on this arch is always disabled. In our amd64 case this means multilib-USE-flag is disabled because the multilib support is not optional. (Of course unless you use the 2005.0/no-multilib profile as correctly mentioned above) Greetings, David -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

This is bug #87587 [1], feel free to CC yourself. a quick workaround
would be to stick =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r5 ~amd64 into
