[gentoo-user] /lib/cpp fails sanity check
wireless
I have tried installing an athlonXP off of liveCD 3 times. Each
time I get the same error.
So I burned a minimal 2.004.1 CD thinking, well I'll just get
everything from the net and get around this problem this way.
In chapter 4:
Code Listing 4: Updating Portage
# emerge sync <ran just fine>
however at the end a message told me it was highly recommended to
update portage. No syntax example was suggested, and none found in the
installation handbook. So I used:
#emerge portage <it ran for a while and then produced this error>:
"configure: error : C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp fails sanity check
See 'config.log' for more details.
configure: error /bin/sh './configure' failed for autoconf-lib-link
!!! ERROR: sys-devel/gettest-0.12.1 failed.
!!! Fuchtion econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
make.conf:
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
I've also tried '-march=athlon-xp' to no avail.
This is the step before configuring the USE variable.
What's up with this C++ error?

Well inside of the chroot environment, I use nano to edit
'/etc/make.conf' but it does not have any effect. Just for kicks
I commented (using #) everything in the /etc/make.conf file. I still
get the same problem and the exact same error message. Do I have to
exit out of the chroot to change the /etc/make.conf file?
Any tricks?

Just below code listing 4 it states:
"If you are warned that a new Portage version is available and that you
should update Portage, you should ignore it."

You could try installing from a stage3 tar-ball, and then you should be
able to do an emerge portage, and have it work. Then if you want to
rebuild your system from scratch like you would have had you started at
a stage1, do something like :
emerge -e system

In other words, don't try to update portage at this point. All you have
is a bootstrap system and you need to progress from stage 1 to stage 2
before you have a system that can properly update portage. However,
when you execute the emerge system command in stage 2, the newer portage
will be pulled in and updated.
If this is your first Gentoo install or you are having problems, I
highly recommend either having a system with a network connection and a
browser opened to the Installation Handbook or a printed copy that you
can markup to ensure that you have followed the steps in the book. I've
installed Gentoo, quite a few times now, and when I run into trouble is
when I don't follow the installation instructions as described.

I'm running losts of systems. My network is fine, Iam following the
installation guide. It's a problem with cpp
I've googled around and found dozens of similar problems posted and no
fixes posted.
I agree with what yo and the other posters have said. I exit chroot
and downloaded everything again.
I still get the *SAME* error, regardless if I use a livedCD or a
minimal CD.
NOBODY is focusing in on the error!
EVERYTHING you talk about has been address several times. I still get
the same problem.
I installed a gentoo system a few months ago, <Stage1> with no
problems, but that was the previous version on an intel P3.
Here is Where/what is the preprocessor checking for when I get the
'lib/cpp fails sanity check' error?
Can I replace cpp with g++.

You are not following the installation guide, you are trying to do
exactly what it tells you not to do, update portage.

Your using 2004.1 if i read correctly, know to have many issues. Going back to
2004.0 has fixed the ones I have seen on here.. I still got 1.4 sitting here
I use..
> NOBODY is focusing in on the error!
Part of the error is you installing portage out of sync.. You should be going
back to the very first issue you found.. Get that fixed, and the rest of this
should go away.

lib/cpp seems to be a major problem as I see it. there should be no
executables there..
I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a c++ on the livecd.. Part of the
bootstrap process is to compile/install it..
I have only used minimal, myself however.
> Can I replace cpp with g++.
you can try, but the above is still valid statement..

Please learn to read English. You've been given the answer above. Read
the comment in Code Listing 5 that follows Code Listing 4: DO NOT TRY TO
UPDATE PORTAGE AT THIS POINT. IGNORE THE MESSAGE. DO NOT PROCEED
UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPREHENDED THIS. Prior to completing the bootstrap, the
minimal system that you are running IS NOT CAPABLE OF UPDATING PORTAGE.
You will get that same error until the end of time if you try to update
portage at this point in the installation. You do not have a fully
capable cpp program to use until bootstrap is done.

Dude,
I'm way past that, You are *WRONG* Im not fucking trying to upgrade
portage! I tried that once!
It's a major bug according to:
http://www.gentoo-portage.com/program-bugs.php?program=1486
28630 NEW major bootstrap.sh fails because of /lib/cpp sanity
check, make.conf irrelevant?
Maybe somebody nice can tell me how to search for gentoo/cpp bugs
or how to use g++ in lieu of cpp, or some workaround.....
I've installed hundreds of xBSD and xLinux machines. I've been
throught the Gentoo installation hand book. I have each chapter in a
Mozilla tab, and I've tried all sorts to way to install/work around
this problem.
It's not me, it a bug in Athlon-xp/cpp/gentoo/x86stage1 or
something....
IDEAS on how to get around this problem are welcome, or a pointer to
to a easy to use bug/list/track system for gentoo.
I've only installed (1) stage one gentoo system, about 3 months ago,
but, it was easy!
Maybe I should use the old 2004.0 install CD?

You're not following the guide if you tried to emerge portage during
stage 1.
After untarring the stage 1 tarball and setting up the chroot
environment.
We are going to ignore make.conf for the moment.
Do you get the error when you do the following
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# emerge sync
# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh -f
# scripts/bootstrap.sh

This is the only useful idea anyone has suggested, going back to
2.004.0 in the installation for this athlon-xp.
Should I use a smp kernel or a gentoo kernel at intial boot time?

Paul Varner
Yes, I've looked at the bug. The cause is that the compiler isn't built
to compile C++ code yet and thus pukes on the C++ code in the gettext
package. That is why I asked if you were able to run the above
commands. If the scripts/bootstrap.sh process completes sucessfully,
you should then have a compiler that will build C++ code.
wireless
GREAT NEWS! 2004.0, stage1 and following the exact proceedure
that I used before(I've made my own installation guide) and your
sequence above. It did not puke on the cpp errors as it did
previously. It ran for about 20 minutes (after your sequence of
commands were all issued), then failed:
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I've used smp for liveCD(2.004.1) the minimalCD(2004.1) and the
minimalcd(2004.0).
gentoo does not have the ethernet drivers I need otherwise (RhineII)
or the eth. drivers did not with gentoo kernels.

Read the message to which I replied. You stated that the error occurred
when trying to update portage, at the point you are not supposed.

Which is it? the Gentoo Handbook or your home brewed installation guide.
You stated that you have had one successful install, don't you think the
people behind the handbook have had rather more experience than that?
Maybe it would be a good idea to follow their instructions.

Well it ran long and deep into the installation, but, again I get this
error with /lib/cpp at a different point in the installation.
upon explicitely following:
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# emerge sync
# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh -f
# scripts/bootstrap.sh
It runs about 30 minutes before failing:
(remember this is now 2004.0 minimal CD, downloaded stage1
checking how to run the Cpreprocessor..../lib/cpp
coifugre: error C preprocessor "/lib/cpp fails sanity check
See `config.log` for more details.
!!! Error: sys-devel/m4-1.4.1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, line 42, Exitcode 1
!!! (no erro message)
Here's the make.conf file:
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="-gtk -gnome qt kde dvd cdr"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS'"-j2"
so now I'll delete the '-mcpu=i686' and try '-march=athlon-xp'
just for grins....
Any better ideas on what to try? What could I be doing to make the
stage1 installation fail on the same /lib/cpp using (3) different CDs?
2004.0 minimal
2004.1 minimal
2004.1 universal
Is their a test I can run to test the athlon-xp(2400+) or it's
compatibilty with the compiler? Bugs? Configuration.
When I go and download a new stage1 file and unpack it, I've even
tried to manually delete everthing from the previous installation

Neil,
I have follow the Gentoo installation handbook to precisely, only
deviating to make extra partitions, which are working fine. The
condense notes I type in every time I do an installation, are from the
Gentoo installation handbook, without the things that do not relate,
such as mirrorselect, when using a minimal CD.
I'm sorry if you I got you angry, but, I have been installing
all sort of Linux and BSD systems for years. From what I'm reading
Gentoo is a young distro with lots of promise, but some keen issues
remain.
I like Gentoo. I'm not giving up, just frustrated and thinking about
trying the installation on a P4 now....

> USE="-gtk -gnome qt kde dvd cdr"
I've built all my gentoo systems from minimalcd 2004.1. Two Athlon-XP's
and an AMD Opteron. I've always bootstrapped with out java "-java" in
the USE flags. You also may want gtk, as some apps will want it.. even
if you don't have gnome itself installed. An example of such is
distccmon-gnome. It runs fine in KDE, but you need gtk support.

It would have to be your USE flags, or perhaps a memory issue. I can't
see how at this point in the game you can be having such a consistent
problem. You're not booting off a custom kernel, so we're not talking
about motherboard issues here. It's not a Harddrive issue, and probably
not a CD issue. There just isn't much left. If the rest of world is
installing on athlon-xp's just fine, then I would take a look at your
USE flags and make them as minimal as possible.
> Is their a test I can run to test the athlon-xp(2400+) or it's

I did a bootstrap two weeks ago from a minimal CD on an athlon-xp 2800+.
Unless AMD is changing micro-code, I doubt they are much different than
their speed.

Really? Issues eh??
you know, I have never followed that install guide to a tee either and i have
never had any issues installing it.. Maybe the young part you got right, the
young operator had errors, not the install. (gentoo young)
If the install had all these issues, I think we would be flooded with install
questions.. Gentoo isn't as young as you think. Considering I have been on
this list for years.. I have had very few live cd's have all the issues..
I did say 2004.1 had a few glitches, but I have never heard of the cpp issue
before you.. Considering the livecd doesn't have c++, it coming out with
sanity errors seem quite right to me.
> I like Gentoo. I'm not giving up, just frustrated and thinking about

Well, just follow the guide.. Its worked for thousands of installs before you.

If the ebuild requires support, it will override the use flags. It just
doesn't compile gtk for optional things.

To be accurate - if a package _needs_ gtk, then gtk is not in its USE flags.
USE flags are supposed to be optional dependencies.

Okay,
I don't have an athlon-xp, but I just did the following and it worked
successfully.
I'm already booted into Gentoo so networking and partitioning is
complete. I have a scratch partition on /dev/hdb8 so we are going to use
it.
# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdb8
# mount /dev/hdb8 /mnt/gentoo
# lynx http://gentoo.oslosu.org (downloaded stage1-x86-2004.1.tar.bz2)
# cd /mnt/gentoo
# tar -xvjpf ~/stage1-x86-2004.1.tar.bz2
# vi /mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf (copy and paste your make.conf, correct
the ' character to an = for the MAKEOPTS entry)
# cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
# cd (place me back in root's home directory)
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# emerge sync
# cd /usr/portage
# scripts/bootstrap.sh -f
# scripts/bootstrap.sh
At this point, the only thing that I can think of is to recreate your
filesystems using mkfs. Write down the exact commands that you are
executing along with the results and post the whole thing if it fails.

Paul

The only thing I noticed different that I did not do before is
cd (back to root's home dir after the 'cp -L' command).
I also used -java in the make.conf file:
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="-gtk -gnome -java qt kde dvd cdr"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
Thanks Paul!

I'm glad it finally worked for you. What probably solved the problem
was recreating the file systems which insured a fresh install.

Yes, I think something got corrupted and then stayed on the drive,
until it was written over.
After 'scripts/bootstrap.sh'
I issued 'emerge system'
Is this redundant?
After running a while here's how it ended:

I'm going on to chapter 7 to hopefully complete this 2004.1 stage one
installation on this Athlon-xp.
