Hi, I have here a problem. I updated the shell bash today and the computer stalled while installing bash so I was not able to reboot my PC. I rebooted then from a rescue system and the bash was completely crashed so I copied the bash from the rescue system.
Now I can boot my system again. Now I try to reinstall bash again but I get the following error message: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -L./builtins -L./lib/readline -L./lib/readline -L./lib/glob -L./lib/tilde -L./lib/sh -rdynamic -march=i686 -O2 -pipe -o bash shell.o eval.o y.tab.o general.o make_cmd.o print_cmd.o dispose_cmd.o execute_cmd.o variables.o copy_cmd.o error.o expr.o flags.o jobs.o subst.o hashcmd.o hashlib.o mailcheck.o trap.o input.o unwind_prot.o pathexp.o sig.o test.o version.o alias.o array.o arrayfunc.o braces.o bracecomp.o bashhist.o bashline.o list.o stringlib.o locale.o findcmd.o redir.o pcomplete.o pcomplib.o syntax.o xmalloc.o -lbuiltins -lsh -lreadline -lhistory -lcurses -lglob -ltilde -ldl ./lib/readline/libhistory.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [bash] Error 1 !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. !!! A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-shells/bash-3.2_p17/temp/build.log'. What can I do to reinstall the bash again?
