Hi there,

I'm trying to bootstrap and it comes this error:

emerge rsync goes perfectly and I did it 3 times to make sure I didn't oversee something but no errors while downloading
so how do I fix that thing?

pls need help

What does emerge -p portage report?

There are some dependencies that make errors but I don't know why, I mean I'm doing it all from stage 1 and the neither the install-guide nor the portage guide tell me anything about why bootstrap.sh fails.

How do I tell emerge to get those things?

am I missing something about the USE flags? I thougt it would be fine if I leave them as they are in /etc/make.conf or do I have to write ncurses etc.?

They are IMHO in make.defaults anyway
For the other Flags I tried the following:

USE="-kde -qt -qtmt -arts"
and
#USE=""

all in /etc/make.conf i didn't even touch make.defaults
(because I want to go for gnome, but this can't be the thing about the bootstrap, at least I hope that)
I tried
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe"
as well as
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"

but everythings the same

I really doubt it is a USE variable issue. /etc/make.defaults is overwritten during rsync's, so you really shouldn't edit it. As for your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, I'd change -O3 to -O2 if you are using Gentoo 1.4 (gcc3), but I doubt that is the issue either.

What version of portage (emerge -V) do you have (V not v)? Also, what files do you have in the /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files directory?

Version is:

Portage 1.9.9

and I got these files in it

total 484
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 687 Nov 13 04:20 README.RESCUE
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 13 06:49 digest-portage-2.0.44
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 13 17:36 foo.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 139900 Nov 13 00:20 portage-2.0.44.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168027 Nov 13 00:26 portage-rescue-2.0.44-ppc.tbz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162695 Nov 13 00:18 portage-rescue-2.0.44-x86.tbz2

and I'm doing the whole thing in chroot with my SuSE80 running under KDE. If this makes any differences but as far as I understood Linux I could do everything from within that??

and I'm trying to get Gentoo 1.2 running not 1.4 if this is a big difference

I suspect your version of portage is the culprit. The README.RESCUE file should give you instructions on how to upgrade portage using one of the files in that directory. Lets see if that works. Since your trying to get 1.2 running, you can leave the -O3 option.

Your are right.

I just found this thread which describes exactly my problem and I'll try that, but my personal taste ist that I don't like beta things (no harm ment, this is what I found that the official gentoo 1.4 is at the moment.

Hoping now have solved my problem.
