Hello!

Trying to compile groff-1.19.1-r2 I had the error:
gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"
make: *** [xditview.o] Error 1

In my make.conf file I have CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu".

I see this is one of the often occured promblems, when system
reference to i386 instead i686...

Can anybody tell how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

Try running `gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-<version> &&
source /etc/profile`.

My gcc version is 3.3.5.
when I run:
# gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-20050130
it gives me error:
* /usr/bin/gcc-config: Could not locate
'i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-20050130' in '/etc/env.d/gcc/'!
What does the "20050130" mean? Portage version?

When I tried:
#gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5
it gives me no error.
But the error I wrote in 1st mail still remains...

I was looking at a similar one earlier with python-fchksum. After some searching I found this page:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-230783.html

It mentions both the python-fchksum and groff errors. The python-fchksum was solved by edditing the CC variable in /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile and the groff error was solved by remerging xorg-x11. I'm guessing but maybe you can edit /usr/lib/X11/config/host.def to fix this one. Does it say #define CcCmd i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc in there?

I was curious if I could reproduce your problem so I edited /usr/lib/X11/config/host.def and changed it to #define CcCmd i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. Sure enough, I got the same error. You can try editing that file if you don't want to recomplile xorg-xll.

Thank you, Zac!

I recompiled xorg-x11 and the compilation groff were successful.
Next time I will take into account your advice concerning
/usr/lib/X11/config/host.def.

Your're welcome. I supposed you could have grepped all the files on your system for i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc but that wouldn't have been a very efficient way to go about it. ;-)
