I am trying to emerge the xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 update, but it keeps dying on me with

I have run it in kde, and I have tried killing kdm/X and running it in a console but it does the same thing. How do I fix it? |

Try changing into /usr/share/fonts/misc and issuing the following command (as root):
| Code: |
ln -s ../encodings.dir encodings.dir
|
and then
| Code: |
ebuild /usr/share/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3.ebuild qmerge.
|
This fixes the problem and completes the install.
NB I have not had chance to check that the fonts work properly after this hack.

Chidder. |

| I did "cd" into that directory, and when I typed "ls" I saw that there was already a link called encodings.dir, and it was linked to /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir. Should I delete this link and remake it? It was blinking red, which I think means that there is a problem with it; namely, I didn't see an "encodings.dir" file in /usr/share fonts/encodings (r in /usr/share/fonts, either). Perhaps not having this file at all is the problem? I will wait for your reply I proceed with the rest of your instructions. Thanks! |

So long as there is a directory called encodings.dir in /usr/share/fonts then I would delete the bad link and create a new one as per my earlier response.

There isn't an "encodings.dir" in /usr/share/fonts! :
| Code: | bash-2.05b# cd /usr/share/fonts/
bash-2.05b# ls
100dpi TTF cyrillic encodings local ukr
75dpi Type1 default fonts.cache-1 misc util
bash-2.05b#
|
| Code: | bash-2.05b# locate encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/work/xc/fonts/encodings/large/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/work/xc/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/misc/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/Type1/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/encodings/large/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/encodings.dir
/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3/image/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/encodings.dir
/usr/local/share/fonts/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/ukr/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/misc/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/default/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/local/encodings.dir
/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/encodings.dir
bash-2.05b#
|
Perhaps one of these other locations is more suitable to this purpose? |

Given your setup I would consider recreating the encodings.dir in /usr/share/fonts/misc, giving it the same user:group and permissions as the others you have found in /usr/share/fonts/*/.
Then try the ebuild command I gave in my first reply.

Chidder. |
