Thanks Michael and Edward, emerge --sync; emerge -e system failed again. However it seems that it is working after I deleted the file /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/files/digest-libpng-1.2.8 as suggested by Edward and running
cd /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/; ebuild libpng digest For what I saw in some gentoo forums, this procedure is correct if you are sure that the package (libpng-1.2.8.tar.gz) is right. Now it is working, I hope it will complete but it takes a long time because of the "emptytree" option. Juan Juan wrote: > Hi, I am trying to install gentoo following the instructions in the > manaul.
