 |
|
i get this strange installation error when i (try to) install doom3.
after the installation is almost finished, it aborts with this error:
| Code: |
* Copying files from Disk 3...
man:
>>> Completed installing doom3-data-1.1.1282 into /var/tmp/portage/doom3-data-1.1.1282/image/
./
./opt/
./opt/doom3/
./opt/doom3/d3xp/
./opt/doom3/d3xp/pak000.pk4
./opt/doom3/base/
./opt/doom3/base/pak000.pk4
./opt/doom3/base/pak001.pk4
./opt/doom3/base/pak002.pk4
./opt/doom3/base/pak003.pk4
./opt/doom3/base/pak004.pk4
>>> Done.
!!! CATEGORY info missing from info chunk, aborting... |
and that's it.
i have no idea why this happens.
some info about the system:
| Code: |
Portage 2.1_pre5-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.6-r2, 2.6.15-gentoo i686)
=================================================================
System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre3
ccache version 2.4 [enabled]
dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1, 2.4.2
sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11
sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7
sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6
sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1
sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1
virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86"
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
|
to me it seems like a portage error.
any ideas?
thx.
======= EDIT: SOLVED (kinda) ==========
after a little bit of more reading i deleted the game's tmpdir in /var/tmp/portage and successfully emerged it with
| Code: | | FEATURES="-buildpkg" USE="cdinstall dedicated" emerge -av doom3 |
the FEATURES="-buildpkg" is what did it, i think. maybe i'll build a package now, i'm not sure i really need it.
just WHY it worked this way escapes me; on other systems (amd_64) it could easily be installed including building a package.

The same error popped up while installing UT2004...I believe the reason why buildpkg fails is because there is not enough disk space to create the package. I had 10 gb total left before installing the game and the game's data ocupies roughly 7 gb.
