SOLVED!

It seems that when I moved my protage directory to a central server long ago the /etc/make.profile file still pointed to /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4

Instead of the new location. So I updated the the symlink and everything's great once more.
I hope this helps someone.

Hey bro ...

Found it!
Don't know why emerging perl and XML-Parser (when they were already installed) fixed it, but it did...
I found this fix here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... =sablotron

has anyone found a resolution to this? I am able to ./configure the binaries manually... but I am unable to emerge sablotron... getting the "compiler can't create executables" error message.

ok... deleted the ebuild and rsync'd, same problem... I then perused the search a bit deeper and tried this:

root@sauron# USE="" CFLAGS="mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="mcpu=i686 -O2 -pipe" emerge sablotron



SAME thing...
funny thing is, my webserver was hacked into (wouldn't have happened if I ...

my last CFLAGS didn't have -mmmx or -msse, it was dumbed down as much as possible... (mcpu=pentium3 -O2 -pipe)... I even took out USE varibles and FEATURES.
And I also have done env-update after each edit...

I don't know what else to try... gonna delete the ebuild and rsync...

with or without distcc, same error message.
I also tried making some very vanilla CFLAGS (mcpu=pentium3 -O2 -pipe) and disabling all features.

still no dice...

but... I can /configure the binary just fine, when downloading the sablotron tarball... perhaps an issue with portage and this app?

enabling distcc didn't work... gonna try a search now...

I am able to emerge other ebuilds...
I will try enabling distcc

Ok... I have tried messing with my USE flags, and my C flags, here is the most "whitebread" CFLAGS that I can put up, and Sablotron will not compile. Here are the last few lines of the emerge attempt...
I searched for "sablotron" on the forum, saw a few issues with it not compiling, but none with ...

I was getting the same issue, however, I did a search on each package and found what it's ebuild name is (my version numbers were not the same as those posted above...). Unmerged these, and I was able to update...


edit: stupidity is contagious... I had the same issue and forgot to search on each ...

wow... thanks bro

I always get so amazed when I see just how easy it is...

For awhile now, I have been trying to discover a way to get uptime to output in a standard format ... using /proc has seemed to be the most viable method... I found a script out there that was supposed to do this... but I get lots of errors... here is the script that I found on http://www.ocean.univ ...

must be a problem with the bootdisk that I was using... because I popped the HD into my main system and did the emerge rsync with no problem, then put it back in there... it's bootstrapping now...

I am betting that will take at least 2 days on this poor little system... but it isn't my main box ...

aw weak... I had to update my mobo's bios to support my new processor... and now /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge says that Fast Writes are not supported... but it worked prior to my update...

hmmm... agp fast write or 200MHz more processor?

I think I will have to stick with no agp fast write ...

ARGH! Now I am too the # emerge sync process, and it won't proceed past 39500 files rsynced... I get the following:


recieving file list
39580 files to consider
pipe failed in do_recv
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at main.c(411)


I have not been able to move past this... very very ...

I tried the one that devjonfos made, and I also tried zool... neither support bzip... or so it seems... am I missing something? I now have nicely formatted disks in my other system... with the stage1 in the root, and nothing that I can do with it...

gonna grab tomsrbt now... just for the bootstrap ...

arrrgh... xset will not work at all for me... I do the following:

$ xset led 1

or

$ xset led 2

with no response... however... if I just do either of these:

$ xset led

or

$ xset led 3


my scroll lock comes on... the funny thing is... when I launch x, my numlock comes on, but when the ...

don't read the above post: stupidity is contagious
I was tooling around in my bios and had enabled "plug and play os"... don't ask me why... I disabled this feature and it now works...

Ok... this is very bizarre.
For some reason, all of a sudden I have no sound in quake 3, or via xmms... I am using the default OSS drivers, because I was unable to get ALSA working. Quake 3 spams the following message "Dropping Sound" when I try to play... the wierd thing is, Gaim plays sound files ...

I hate to bump... but I hope to find an answer

I am attempting to install a new gentoo system, by using my main system to compile/install on the hard drive.
I compiled all the software for this specific processor type, compiled the kernel for this processor type, and still... this system dosen't want to boot past the following...

is your user in the "wheel" group in /etc/group?

I believe all users that need su must be in the wheel group...

From the Gentoo FAQ, section 2.2-3:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml

Why can't a user su to root?

For security reasons, users may only su to root if they belong to the wheel ...

This is how I got it to work... hope this helps

bah... I am having the same issue (see: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=43135 ), and I have added the "ViewPorts" option... to no avail... I am rather confused by this...

I run 1024x768 normally, but I need to run 800x600 and 640x480 sometimes... and it gives me the virtual desktop of ...

I am having a tough time getting my monitor to "sync" when I switch resolutions from 1024x768 to 800x600 or 640x480. In other words, I do not have a "virtual desktop larger than screen resolution" in 1024x768, but when I try to run at 800x600 or lower... anyreason why I am keeping the 1024x768 ...
