@BASH@: bad interpreter

[jsn.x]

I'm following the install tutorial for OS X, and I've gotten to the point where we install portage the second time. The failure is a little strange:

Code: Select all

 :; env FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --oneshot portage
  <...snip.../>
/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.9271/temp/environment: ./bin/emake: @BASH@: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
 * ERROR: sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.9271 failed:
 *   emake failed
 * 
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh:  46: <call src_compile>
 *             environment:2444:     emake || die "emake failed";
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * build log: '/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.9271/temp/build.log'
 * ebuild environment: '/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.9271/temp/environment'
 * S: '/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.9271/work/prefix-portage-2.2.00.9271'

This looks like a case where configure has failed to replace @BASH@ with a path to bash. All the scripts in the work dir (/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-2.2.00.9271/work/prefix-portage-2.2.00.9271/bin) have #!@BASH@ at the top of them.

I made it work! Yes! Now I can have Gentoo on my Mac! Yeah!

The magic words:

Code: Select all

for f in $EPREFIX/usr/lib/portage/bin/*
do
    ln -s $f $EPREFIX/usr/bin/
done

The "#!@BASH@: bad interpreter" error is a result of putting ./bin at the end of my path. When bash can't find emake higher up -- in $EPREFIX/usr/bin, for example -- it goes ahead and calls ./bin/emake in the install directory, which of course hasn't had a shell substituted into it yet.

If I remove ./bin from my path, I just get "emake: command not found", so evidently something is not right with the way portage is bootstrapped into place. Is it a bug that the symlinks I mention above are not created automatically?

did you perhaps forget to set your path as instructed at the top of the bootstrap guide?
