Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2005 8:47 pm Post subject: Installing software? |
|
|
I think it's installed correctly but nothing builds. I have a few things: gcc, slocate, apache, and mudix (something to do while I it works) but most things either 404 or give a compile error.
For instance,
xorg-x11 says error: medialibs/freetype-whatever failed
binutils says Couldn't download binutils-whatever-patches.. Aborting.
Is this normal; did something happen in the install or am I just missing something? (one persons mach.conf had mirrors "...") I used the universal so I thought thr basic development packages and KDE/Gnome was supposed to be there.
And how do I install qpkg? |

What exactly are you trying to install? |

I want a function desktop -- applications, KDE, etc.
But when I try to install most software it fails. For a while even slocate and lynx failed to install. I was supprised when apache installed correctly.
kdebase, the split thing kde-startkde (whatever), and xorg all error at media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1 failed. I cant look at what it says above so I really cant "post the topmost build error" from the consol.
Gnome has problems too.
I guess this is just a general compile problem which means gentoo must be installed correctly. |

You're probably better off creating a new thread in the appropriate forum. |

Looking into it I found that it could be the c compiler executables problem. I've ran the fix for that but still no go. Other people have similar errors.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-395692-highlight-error+c+compiler+executables.html
I'm not sure if its actually the "c compiler executalbe" though. And if it were then I've already fixed it.
Anyway, I did an env-update and now it says that libX11 is masked in package.mask. Mudix was masked becasue it was 32 bit but I added a line to my make.conf that got read of it. This one has an actual problem!
I just want a functioning computer. Installing debian was easier than this! apt-get install kde...
But I found a way to output compiler errors... emerge whatever >> file. Code: | Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13

In your CFLAGs change -02 -O2 (the letter, not the number) |

Thank you very very much!!
It outputed a buch of -gcc something about -02 on the consol as well when I ran emerge >> . I just thought -02 was superfluous to the current program or something. Hopefully I'll be able to work around the recently masked X11. But at least it's working now! |
