My first Gentoo install. CDs downloaded with content: 1.4 20030911 Pentium III. I chose to go for stage1.
reference: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap9 everything down to #9 was successful.
after emerge sync, I was encouraged to update portage. I googled for it and found this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/portage-user.xml
Which told me to do:
This will show you what packages are going to be updated # emerge -up system This will update the necessary packages # emerge -u system I left it working for a while, but got an error telling me:
checking... blah blah checking... blah blah checking... blah blah checking... blah blah checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
!!! ERROR: sys-libs/ncurses-5.3-r2 failed !!! Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed cdimage / #
Hmmm, I'm not very good at this. What should I do now?
Thanks Jonas Widarsson
