Howdy,

Trying to move away frmo RPM nightmares to Gentoo.

Doloaded latest isos, booted, followed instructions.

However it is failing trying to compile 'portage':

It unpacks portage-2.0.49.r15.tar.bz2, starts to compile
it but fails with an error - undefined symbol 
xxmalloc_set_program_name.

I started the install with 'pack1', all the emerge sync seemed to
be ok, and I've re-emerged a few times, but always get the same
result...
Any suggestions desperately needed,

thanks,

I'm having a similar problem with emerging the latest portage. Perhaps 
that's why bootstrap.sh fails? If so I need to run
emerge portage > /portage.out 2>&1 

on it, too.
