 |
|
I'm trying to install a system logger. I've tried all three types, but I get an error message with all of them. Here is the last few lines when trying to install the metalog
| Code: | make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_install, Line 1, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/dev-libs/libpcre/libpcre-3.9-r1.ebuild |

| Well it sounds like it's not building in the correct directory since it can't find install in the Makefile. Have you gotten any other errors during install? Did you get the chrooted shell running? What is the exact line you typed? |

I haven't got any other errors up until then. I'm using the stage3 tar file. The exact line I typed was Code listing 26 of the documentation.
| Code: | | emerge app-admin/metalog |

| The problem doesn't jump out at me but have you thought about doing the full install? I've never tried it from the stage3 tarball and I'm wondering if it might not work with your system. |

| I thought that might be the problem too, but I have no idea what packages to install, and how to install them, during step 12 of the install guide. |

| By the way, I've never tried from stage 1, but I have tried from stage 2, that is when I ran into the problem of what and how to install the packages. |

I'm sorry, but I don't see any package installation in step 12.
| Quote: | 12.Progressing from stage2 to stage3
Once your build image has been bootstrapped and you're at stage2 (again, if you're using a stage3 tarball than these steps are not required) it's time to build or install the rest of the base system as follows:
Code listing 22
# export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
# emerge --pretend system
[lists the packages to be installed]
# emerge system
Note: The export CONFIG_PROTECT="" line ensures that any new scripts installed to /etc will overwrite the old scripts (stored in sys-apps/baselayout), bypassing Portage's new config file management support. Type emerge --help config for more details.
It's going to take a while to finish building the entire base system. Your reward is that it will be thoroughly optimized for your system. The drawback is that you have to find a way to keep yourself occupied for some time to come. The author suggests "Star Wars - Super Bombad Racing" for the PS2. When emerge system completes, you'll have a stage3 Gentoo Linux system. |

Then what does | Quote: | [lists the packages to be installed]
|
mean? |

No, you don't have to worry about that. This step is just installing the rest of the base architecture. All the packages that are being installed are default, so you don't have to install anything yourself.  |

| So if I'm installing from the stage 2 tar, do I skip Code listing 22 all together? If not, what do I type for Code listing 22? |

Just type exactly what it says:
# export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
# emerge --pretend system
# emerge system
Don't worry about any packages or anything, it will do it all for you! |

| Thanks for all of the help. I have one more question though, for now anyways. In step 10 I have to do the emerge rsync command since I'm using the stage 2 tar file right? Now on step 11 it says that I don't have to bootstrap since I'm using a stage 2 tar file, but it says if emerge rsync then (which I think is required for stage 2) I have to bootstrap. I'm a little confused on weather or not I have to go through step 11? If I have to do step 11, I'm not sure what I need to edit in the make.conf file. Again, thanks for all of the help so far. |

| I'm pretty sure you don't have to unless you want an up to date portage directory. For the make.conf file, just uncomment the CHOST,CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS lines that you want to use. Look above each set of lines and it will tell you which processor it's for. You don't need to change the USE variable since all the basics are defaulted. |
