 Try recompiling your kernel with support for
 'Executable file formats/emulations - [x] IA32'.

Thanks! that was it! After 3 days of fiddling I finally got my 64bit system up 
and running from scratch. Couple of things that suck is the inability to 
apply same GUI style to 32-bit apps so that they look exatly the same as 
64bit (gtk-engines-qt etc.) but that's a minor issue. Most importantly all 
apps do work so far.

 You may also later need for some other pkgs
 'app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs'  some of its brothers.

that got pulled in with mozilla-firefox-bin :)

[gentoo-user] amd64 fresh install woes (configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.???)

2007-11-27 Thread Dmitry S. Makovey
Hi all,

Little history:
like many on this ML I decided that the time has come to switch over to the 
64bit computing and went with fresh LiveDVD install of gentoo.

Cruel reality:
After doing stage3 install and making syncing portage I'm failing updates on 
gcc and sandbox - both complaining:

configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

for sandbox there was a suggestion of turning off sandbox in FEATURES. I did 
that. In fact my FEATURES is absolutely empty at this point and it's still a 
no-go.

Now before I go and post this in bugs.gentoo.org I'd like to know if maybe 
it's an 64-bit FAQ and I'm doing something wrong. Any 
pointers/suggestions/directions are appreciated.
