I'm going through my first install of Gentoo, and I've run across a
problem...
I started with a stage 1 build. I figured, let's do this right and build
everything...
At the end of "Chapter 6" of the install handbook, it says you should run
"emerge system". Okay, I can do that. And I get an error:
Please download j2ksdk-1_4_1-doc.zip from
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html and move it to
/usr/portage/distfiles.
Hmm. I no longer have lynx or links2 available, so I can't download it,
but I figured I can live without the documentation, so I proceeded anyway.
I chose the "vanilla-sources" for the type of kernal, and run "emerge
--usepkg vanilla-sources".
Then I do a "ls -s /usr/src/linux", and find nothing. A direct "ls" find
the directory *empty*. I can create the link using "ln -s
/usr/sec/linux-2.4.22 /usr/src/linux" as long as I leave off the preceding
"rm /usr/sec/linug && ...". Obviously this doesn't do me any good, as
there isn't a "linux-2.4.22" subdirectory.
Does anyone have any idea of what went wrong, or how I can fix it?
For (hopefully) obvious reasons, attempting to continue with a manual (or
automatic) configuration of the kernal fails. Up until the point where I
received the "please download" error, the process was relatively painless
and I *didn't* receive a single error.
Any and all pointers and suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Krikket
