How old is your system, is your machine clean with emerge --deep --update --pretend world? Is your openrc up to date? Are you using systemd?
Does /lib/rc/bin/get_options exist?

eccerr0r,
My system is up to date.
I'm using openrc, now.
get_options does exist:
| Code: | jribeiro@genkosta ~ $ ls -l /lib/rc/bin/get_options
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mai 16 23:24 /lib/rc/bin/get_options -> /sbin/openrc |
The error says "get_options: command not found" and indeed that command doesn't exist. If I type it in terminal I get "bash: get_options: command not found" |

it probably appears not to exist because a normal user won't have: /lib/rc/bin/ or /sbin in their $PATH variable.
what happens when you execute: /lib/rc/bin/get_options
the startDM is meant to source the correct files to correctly setup the PATH variable

I added /lib/rc/bin/ to ROOTPATH:
| Code: | | jribeiro@genkosta ~ $ sudo bash -c 'echo "ROOTPATH=\"/lib/rc/bin\"" >/etc/env.d/99local' |
It works, now.
Thanks to eccerr0r an Naib |
