Sorry I don't know why your download is all borked (try changing mirrors)-- but I can tell you that 1). Portage is not trying to download an ebuild when you're actually emerging a program; it's trying to download the source tarball for that program in order to compile it; 2) Any ebuild should not be found in /usr/portage/distfiles-- it should be found in /usr/portage/cag-egory/package_name. What you find in /usr/portage/distfiles are the tarballs containing the downloaded source code. So if you've put an ebuild in /usr/portage/distfiles, get rid of it. It has no business being in that particular folder. > is there a manual way to install this package and in general any > package that can`t be emerged traditionally? Yes, download the source code tarball manually (in this case, glib-2.6.3.tar.bz2), and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles. Portage won't try to download the tarball if it finds that its already been downloaded. Hope this helps somewhat, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
