Hi, this is a resume post from... http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org/msg102327.html
-- I follow all step of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml but when i finally go to install gnome... in the latests package (mailclient or something similar) fail... Alex Schuster answer: Use emerge --resume --skipfirst to continue where you were, skipping this package. Or simply emerge --keep-going <package>, this will continue automatically even if a package fails. To compile the package that faileed, there is often a bug report on bugs.gentoo.org already. Just google for the error message, and if you're lucky, you will find the solution. If not, just open a new bug report :) David Abbott suggest: check out "man emerge" and some useful parameters like --skip-first, --resume and --keep-going. Stroller: Have you rebooted the system yet? Don't bother about installing Gnome until you've done so. Be absolutely minimal in your steps, if they're not directly related to having a working system. A DE is eyecandy - just get the disks prepared, the files copied, the kernel installed and the bootloader going. When the system boots for the first time to a plain console you can then log in as root and add ~jose, cron, syslog, GUI (although you'll probably want to install GNU screen a little bit earlier). -- Finally i re-try emerge gnome and package that i thought that fails was... mail-client/evolution-2.28.3.1 saying... libmail-evolution.so is not portable. Maybe this is only a warning... i'll use emerge --keep-going gnome and be patient to compilation finish... and libmail-evolution.so is not portable apear varios times from diferent .la and finally go to next package... and compilation finish successful. This night i'll finish this steps... http://www.gentoo.org/doc/es/gnome-config.xml Thanks all for anwers. -- This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We have to fix that.
