gentoo prefix problem: Failed to emerge app-arch/tar-1.26-r

[toby1234]

Hi Every1,

I am trying to build a minimal gentoo stage 2 with gcc development libraries and auto-configuration tools on three supercompute clusters (in order to be able to build other software with non-root privileges). I do the following:

wget https://github.com/npinto/gentoo-prefix-bootstrap/tarball/master
mv master prefix.tgz
tar zxvf prefix.tgz

then issue the commands

cd npinto-gentoo-prefix-bootstrap-6d62ddc
make install/stage2-gcc

The build/compiling starts fine until the following error message (below).

On cluster 1 the command cat /etc/version gives:
Linux version 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-4) #1 SMP Mon Oct 25 15:50:53 EDT 2010
On cluster 2 the command cat /etc/version gives:
Linux version 2.6.32.13-0.4-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-06-15 12:47:25 +0200
On cluster 3 the command cat /etc/version gives:
Linux version 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 (brewbuilder@norob.fnal.gov) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)) #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 08:12:52 EDT 2009

On all three clusters I get the same error message as follows: What to do? Any help appreciated?

Might I suggest you join #gentoo-prefix on the freenode irc network. Your likely to get prefix specific help there easier. Also, if you prefer the forums, possibly just use one thread for all your initial install problems, that way you won't have to keep repeating info about your system so people can figure out what you need to do. It helps us to know what step you are at, etc..

When running the prefix installer, change de MAKEOPTS to 1....the configuration and scripting in tar install have problems when MAKEOPTS>1.

hope taht helps
