 |
|
Greetings experts,
I tried this:
| Code: | bigserver ~ # host google.com
bash: host: command not found
|
And as you can see, that didn't work. So I tried this:
| Code: | bigserver ~ # emerge host

And that seems to have worked. Now let's try it again...
| Code: | bigserver ~ # host google.com
bash: host: command not found
|
Wait a sec... I'm right back where I started. What am I doing wrong here?

| I remember being confused by that for a long time. It turns out that net-dns/host is some strange nonstandard host tool, so the ebuild renames the binary to host-woods to avoid conflicts. You can use that, but more likely you want to install net-dns/bind-tools, which provides the standard host command. |

Hey, that works perfectly!
One question for you: how did you find this out? |

Though a very old thread, I was looking for 'host' too. I did remember that the "host" package wasn't the one I needed, but couldn't remember which one I did need and found this thread via Google. Though the proposed solution of using the "host" package is fine, the common host tool is provided in the bind-tools package (along with dig, nslookup, nsupdate and dnssec-keygen).
| Code: | | emerge --ask bind-tools |
