Hi, I am trying to install Gentoo Prefix on a Centos 5.5 system. I was following the instructions word-for-word here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml But ran into trouble at $ % emerge --oneshot --nodeps binutils Details and `emerge --info` are below. It looks like it's due to a missing file called '/config.sub', but I'm not sure the best way to resolve this. As an aside, these instructions are for Solaris but recommended for non-gentoo Linux users. Maybe I could go ahead without building binutils (among other things) and use them from the base OS? Thanks, Ricky ===== make[4]: *** [arm.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/egeland/gentoo-prefix/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6/work/build/gold' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/egeland/gentoo-prefix/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6/work/build/gold' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/egeland/gentoo-prefix/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6/work/build/gold' make[1]: *** [all-gold] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/egeland/gentoo-prefix/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6/work/build' make: *** [all] Error 2 emake failed * ERROR: sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6 failed (compile phase): * emake failed * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 62: Called src_compile * environment, line 3247: Called toolchain-binutils_src_compile * environment, line 4009: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake all || die "emake failed";
