Your gcc profile is a set of gcc specs and symlinks to a specific gcc version, since you can have more than one. The error just means gcc-config didn't get run properly before uninstalling your previous version of gcc. Run gcc-config to set your profile to the one you have listed: # gcc-config 1 You will get the error every time you run gcc-config until you set a valid profile; after that it should go away and builds should work again. --Mike

There are some candidate passphrases. I tried them all with rephrase and all
the permutations that I could think of.
Now I am trying app-crypt/nasty, for brute force cracking, but I can't get it
to work. :-(
It keeps popping up my pinentry and asking me for my default key passphrase,
not the key I am trying to feed to it.
Is there a way to change that script I posted so that it a)takes the
passphrases from a file, or b)incrementally tries {a,b,...,z}, and/or capitals
and/or numbers?

Hi Volker. I may be misunderstanding your post. If I'm reading correctly,
you have all of the xcb-util-*-0.3.8 installed, as I did yesterday after the
routine update-world of my ~x86 and ~amd64 machines.
I had no problems building the xcb-util* updates, or even building the
libstartup-notification package.
The real problem is that libstartup-notification is expecting xcb-util to define
the function xcb-atom-get, which AFAICT was eliminated from xcb-util-*-0.3.8.
#readelf -s libxcb-atom.so.1.0.0 | grep xcb_atom_get

Can you find that symbol defined anywhere in xcb-util-*0.3.8? I looked but I
couldn't find it and then deleted all of the xcb*-0.3.8 packages.
Thanks for any hints.

[gentoo-user] Re: [OT router advice] a router capable of detailed logs
Mick michaelkintz...@gmail.com writes: Jumping up the thread a bit now, after Pauls excellent input. I see that iptables cmd is known on the OS, but man I really had not wanted to pound my way thru iptables to the point of competency. Count yourself lucky. I'd rather have to deal with Linux IP Tables than IOS any time! Hehe Once you access it via telnet, have a look for any log rules in IP Tables (/sbin/iptables -L -v -n) and perhaps all we need to do is modify those. Yeah I had a look at the lines containing LOG and of course had no idea of what they meant or how to alter them. The entire iptables is inlined below... maybe you will know how to alter them so that ports show up in logs. That is, only if you are still patient enough to continue so far, no one has complained about the OT thread... but I fear I must be nearing the end of your patient willingness to continue, if not the lists willingness to allow my OT thread. ---- ---=--- - There only 4 instances of LOG in the tables. But I wonder if it might just be an increase in log level that is required. I wanted to try that out, but was a bit chicken, thinking I'd destroy whatever setup there is that invokes the iptable rules.

[gentoo-user] Scripts not working... HELP!
This message is coming from my 32-bit hot backup gentoo machine. For some reason, any script that I call on my 64-bit machine immediately returns to the command prompt. No warnings or error messages or diagnostics. Builtins and compiled executables work OK. For instance, if I have a script named xyz that goes like so... #!/bin/bash man bash ..., executing xyz or ~/bin/xyz results in bash immediately returning to to the command prompt. If I type man bash, it works OK. On top of everything else, getmail seems to go into forkbomb mode, generating a gazillion processes, and eventually locking up the machine, if I type in... /usr/bin/getmail -v -v -v --rcfile rc_cotse It looks like the script is being totally ignored, e.g... waltdnes@i3 ~ $ emerge anyone home? waltdnes@i3 ~ $ Any ideas what gives? -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
