Hi All:
Ok, it completed ~120 out of 212 files when it stopped on this error:

!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
Actually, I tried to fix this error my manually emering the intltool ebuild but got the same error.
Problem is, the machine was rebooted before I could fix this, now when the machine boots there
is of course buckets of errors on the bootup screen and I can't login. The password prompt never comes
up, just says failed after I enter root. After cntrl-alt-del I get to run level 6 and it says to
enter the root PW for maintenance which I do...problem is, the entire file system is mounted as read only
so I can't even try to fix the problem.
I have some bootable live and installation CDs/DVD's here and I'd rather NOT have to retinstall....
Any pointers on how to fix the install on my HDD to avoid a reinstall?
Cheers,
John[/glep]

Hi!
How did you install Gentoo the first time? If you installed manually, that will help as you already done the things you need to do 
You can boot up your installation CDs, then follow some parts of that handbook:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1
Note that this is the x86 handbook. Use the one of your architecture.
First, mount you drives: - 4.e. Mounting
Then, chroot: - 6.a. Chrooting
Once done, it will be like if you had boot your system normally, i.e. you can restart your emerge -uND world. You will surely get back the xml-parser error. You will surely resolve this problem with emerge XML-Parser.
Good luck! |

Well, emerge -s xml | grep perl shows the answer.
To do that, boot from the LiveCD and chroot into your installation, then run emerge.
It sounds like the missing dependency could be worth reporting on bugzilla. |

What you should have done is run etc-update before rebooting, because the ~120 packages that you did install so far will need their config files updated.
It should be easy enough to recover from this by booting with a LiveCD, mounting your partitions, chrooting into your system, and running etc-update. |

many thanx for the help everyone.
Folowed Gurus instructions and CHrooted over the original partition.
To told the error on the intltool emerge I had to:
Emerge the following:
XML-LibXML,(again)
XML-LibXML-Common,
XML-LibXML-Iterator,
XML-Parser(again),
Then it worked.
Note, the again items were already on my system.
Have continued the emerge --update --newuse --deep world now and when its done, will run etc-update.
Looks like I'm in business.
thanx for the help all......
John
PS. You will NEVER get this kind of support from Microsoft or Cisco...NEVER! |

Hehehe 
As you can see, the Gentoo community (Linux in general), is very helpful
Just a note, you added SOLVED to your last post, but you need to modify your first message and modify the subject |

for me a simple emerge perl did the trick

actually solution was much easier. All you need is to remount your root partition in rw mode, you can achieve it this way:
| Code: | | mount /dev/hda2 / -o remount |
where you should change /dev/hda2 to your actual root partition and no LiveCD needed.
Also very helpfull is to use genkernel. You can have two boot entries in grub.conf - one for genkernel with initrd, and else for genkernel image without initrd argument (you should compile everything you need to boot in kernel not as modules)
This is very helpfull, because if something goes wrong you can safely boot genkernel initrd image where you can find many helpfull tools (busybox, raidtools, lvm2 tools) which could help you to solve almost any problem with your system. |

this works better than that | Code: | | emerge perl libxml-perl XML-Parser |
