I am trying to install Gentoo on an Athlon XP (Abit AT7 motherboard - not on the RAID controller) and I have been running into a few problems. I am using the Athlon XP 1.4 LiveCD. First, I tried to do the stage 1 install. I used the default options for the make.conf and it wasn't able to finish the bootstrap process (I don't have the error messages right now) so I went ahead and tried to start from stage 2. I got farther, but when I did an "emerge system" I get an error while it is building sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r7. Here is what happens:
Lots of lines (more than one screen) of what appear to be compile time syntax errors on db_dump185.c like so: ../db_dump185/db_dump185.c:<line #> <syntax error message> ../db_dump185/db_dump185.c:<line #> <syntax error message> ../db_dump185/db_dump185.c:<line #> <syntax error message> ... and then: !!! Error:sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r7 failed !!! Function src_compile, line 92, Exitcode 2 !!! Static build failed I tried to do a stage 3 install, but got a bunch of errors which seemed to be CD Access errors (badly burned CD?). I did get a correct MD5 sum on the ISO before I burned it. I assume that this isn't a problem here though - I thought the "emerge sync" updated the sources so I wouldn't have to worry about that... Do I need to set any flags differently in the make.conf? Could it be that I made a bad disk and have a corrupted file or does it not matter because of the "emerge sync"? Should I just try the stage 1 install again? Suggestions? Thanks for the help! -- chad -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
