... an 'emerge sync' will probably fix this.

rsync error in socket IO (code 10 )at clientserver.c(97)

I'm using tyhe DNS of my Provider and am able to ping to www.kde.org
What can be wrong here ?

Well its quite simply what is written on the screen.

The machine cannot connect (or authenticate) with the proxy server.
Do you actually use a proxy? If so how did you configure your chroot system to use the proxy? If you dont use a proxy then comment out the proxy setting like in by unsetting the variables http_proxy, ftp_proxy and rsync_proxy

I've set the variables http_proxy, ftp_proxy and rsync_proxy to :
proxy.pandpora.be:8080 because my provider uses a proxy server.

That's actually all I did concerning proxies ..?when I did env-update I got a message /etc/make.profile isn't available : an 'emerge sync ' will probably fix this .

Do I need to create or cope a make.profile ??

Contact your ISP and ask if they block Rsync servers, it would not be unheard of for certain ports to be blocked.

Also check that the variables are actually correct

check /etc/resolv.conf (nano -w /etc/resolv.conf) and make sure that primary and secondary DNS are the ones given by your ISP

something like:
nameserver 216.224.228.188
nameserver 216.224.228.189

do 'env' to see if you have the environment variables you exported previously (export http_proxy="proxy.pandpora.be:8080" , export ftp_proxy="$http_proxy" , export RSYNC_PROXY="$http_proxy") before chroot

if they're not there, do 'env-update'

try 'emerge sync' again

if it still doesn't work, log off completely from the root shell
Ctrl+D
Ctrl+D

you should see: cdimage login
log in as root
export variables again

'chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash'

'env-update'

'emerge sync'

Ciao

I'm having an issue attempting to get a Gentoo install able to emerge from work from behind a proxy server. For whatever reason, despite having the ftp_proxy (et all) environment variables set and having the equivalents in /etc/make.conf, emerge is still attempting to log into the proxy anonymously.

The format I'm using for the environment variables is:

As an update: I'm able to properly access HTTP/FTP via Konqueror using exactly the same settings (I'm posting this using the machine in question), so I'm sure it's just some kind of configuration issue I'm not seeing or not thinking of. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

One more place, you have to look for the proxy setting is /etc/wget/wgetrc.

For example,

Yep, that fixed it. Changing title to solved.

Actually the thing that fixes your problem is that you use a corrected ftp_proxy setting in /etc/wget/wgetrc

That is a http:// prefix

ftp_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.server.com:8080/

Setting this by export:ing or in make.conf resolves the problem proper, without any need for parallel configurations.
