System can't find emerge

[spankmygentoo]

sudo emerge --oneshot sed
Password:
sudo: emerge: command not found



That's the error I get when trying to emerge sed. I followed the directions step by step on the website, and even found work arounds for sed not being gnu, etc. I searched the forums and was unable to find anything about this error.

I'm running:

Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo running Leopard with 1GB ram. Any help is appreciated, thanks. Oh yeah, did the bootstrap from here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-al ... -macos.xml

I haven't used sudo in a while, but have you tried running the command with the full path to emerge ?

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/bin/emerge sed

I remember this being a "problem" when I was doing the same thing a while ago...

It's not located there. I had to switch to the directory: $EPREFIX/tmp or something like that, then usr then bin to be able to run emerge. Then when I tried it, it gave me this error:

sudo ./emerge --oneshot sed

Could it be because I have macports installed with python? I'll try and uninstall it then. I bet Xcode already comes with it. My bad.
