RE: [gentoo-user] symlinks missing when distcc installed

2005-02-15 Thread Dave Nebinger
 Then, it didn't work.  Distcc did not distribute any compile tasks to
 the other computers.  I tracked it down as far as I can.  It looks
 like there are not any links from the /usr/lib/distcc/bin directory to
 the distcc binary.
 
 For a short term solution, I created the links on the PCs that did not
 have them.

Great Abap!  But did distcc work after these links were created?

This came up as an issue before on the list but I don't believe anyone
tracked down the source of the problem...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that yes, with the links added manually,
distcc worked fine.

The just of what was happenning is that the path to the distcc links
is put in your PATH variable at the start.  This way, when cc (or c++
or gcc or ...) is to be executed, the appropriate link to distcc is
executed instead.
