After reading the portage howto on the forums and fixing the various ~x86 packages on my system that want to be downgraded through emerge world, I decided to do a deep update. The problem is, sgml-common fails with the following messages:
| Code: | >>> md5 src_uri ;-) sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz to /var/tmp/portage/sgml-common-0.6.3-r4/work
>>> Source unpacked.
creating cache ./config.cache
configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..
!!! ERROR: app-text/sgml-common-0.6.3-r4 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed |
I've already updated the fifty some other packages that were due for it with a lot of typing on the command line, but this one is just stuck.
I've played with ebuilds a little to get xorg working, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about them to solve this problem. I've tried deleting the package from /usr/portage/distfiles, and downloading a new one, but to no avail.
Any suggestions? |

Alright, I figured it out. In the root directory of the source tarball, there's a symlink called 'install-sh' that points to '/usr/share/automake/install-sh'. My system didn't have a '/usr/share/automake' directory, so I made a symlink in /usr/share called 'automake' that points to '/usr/share/automake-1.4' (the version that '# automake --version' pointed to).
Now all is well. |
