While trying to run 'emerge gnome', I get the following error (I've included all of the output before the error, it isn't that long):

root@hoju:/home/derrich# emerge gnome

>>> emerge net-libs/linc-0.5.2 to /

Is it possible for me to specify a different location to find 'linc'?

Looks to me like the location information is incorrect for where to download 'linc' -- Have you done an emerge rsync recently? It is possible this is an old ebuild problem that has been corrected, you need to run emerge rsync to get a fixed ebuild though. If emerge rsync doesn't fix the problem then you have likely found a bug and you should submit an official bug report here.

Indeed, I've tried 'emerge rsync' just before re-trying 'emerge gnome'. Thanks, I suppose I'll submit a bug report now.

I'm having this problem too. Apparently the portage tree is newer than the stuff on the mirrors, because so far I'm getting errors on ORBit2 and GConf as well. This is quite annoying! I'm new to gentoo; does emerge have this problem often?

I was getting the same error. I tried a few things then eventually figured out that I needed to update the mirror locations in the make configuration files (/etc/make.conf and /etc/make.globals).

Try running "emerge portage". This won't automatically update the make files since they are protected. You can read about how to update the files from there by running "emerge --help config".

Or for the lazy, in /etc/make.globals and /etc/make.conf look for the line that starts with:

GENTOO_MIRRORS=

and change the location to:

"http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"

Are you sure that the gnome install worked after you made this change? I only ask because I am having the same problem. It is a 404 file not found error. I checked all of the Gentoo mirror sites and that file linc-0.5.2 is NOT there, on ANY of the sites. The latest they have is linc-0.5.1 . I also noted that it tried to download the file from mirror://gnome/sources/linc/linc-0.5.2.tar.bz2, but failed. Curious... Mirror:// ??

To fix the broken ebuilds update them with the correct path to the download.
/usr/portage/net-libs/linc/linc-0.5.2.ebuild
Change the SRC_URI to:
SRC_URI="http://linux.darylstimm.com/linc-0.5.2.tar.bz2"

/usr/portage/gnome-base/ORBit2/ORBit2-2.4.1.ebuild
Change the SRC_URI to:
SRC_URI="ftp://archive.progeny.com/GNOME/2.0.1/sources/ORBit2/ORBit2-2.4.1.tar.b
z2"

/usr/portage/gnome-base/gconf/gconf-1.2.1.ebuild
Change the SRC_URI to:
SRC_URI="ftp://archive.progeny.com/GNOME/2.0.1/sources/GConf/GConf-1.2.1.tar.b
z2"

It seems it's all of the updated packages haven't been moved to the server yet. Is there a way to specify a path to a local dir where all the packages are already downloaded?

I actualy finaly got this to work. All I had to do was:

>export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
>emerge portage
>emerge rsync

this updated to the latest portage build and then did the rsync from a new server. I immediately could tell that it was a different site that the rsync was comming from because the motd text was completely different.

Once this was complete, I started the emerge gnome again and all went perfectly. :D

I followed the above instructions (I no longer got 404 errors), but I've run into another problem. It builds for a while and it seems to be going fine, and then it hangs on '>>> Updating Scrollkeeper' , and when running 'top -s', i see 'scrollkeeper-up' taking up 97% of my cpu resources, and staying that way for quite a while.

I'd imagine there's something wrong going on there.

Try searching the forums for "scrollkeeper". It's been a hot topic lately.
