FWIW, while
bringinging up a new dual AMD64 box last night, I got the exact same abort on autoconf
during an emerge system. I solved it the same way, by manualy emerging autoconf
and restarting the emerge with the –newuse flag. I didn’t run into the aclocal
problem, instead the emerge of samba caused a second abort for me. That
appeared to be a genuine compile error, so I removed the samba use flag and
continued the emerge system which completed without further error. On a side
note, bringing this box up has been very frustrating. By default the kernel on
the install CD enables both CPUs, I spent a week starting and restarting the
install from various points. The problem was that the compiles would just stop
in the middle of compiling some random package. No error message, no indicated
system malfunction of any kind, the compiler just stopped doing anything. It
appeared to be just the compiler that was hung, as a ctrl-c would return me to
the command prompt. Forcing “nosmp” and “noapic” on the boot command line of
the install CD resolved that hang. Unfortunately that was after trying a *lot* of other things and command line
options. Regards, Bob Young -----Original
Message----- hi! During
installation of a new system I recognised two things: 1)
`emerge -e system' aborted two times. * The
first time the command autoconf was missing so I manually installed the package
autoconf. * The
second time the command aclocal was missing so I manually installed the package
automake (which contains aclocal) I tried
`emerge -ep system' an the two packages (autoconf and automake) are mentioned
in the list of packages which portage will install. But it seems that portage
installs them to late. 2) after
`emerge -e system' I tried to install the following packages: `emerge
-va reiserfsprogs lvm2 syslog-ng vixie-cron postfix' vixie-cron
needs an mta and tries to install ssmtp - which conflicts with postfix. portage
didn't recognised that I mentioned an mta on command line. I worked
around by mentioning postfix before vixie-cron on command line: `emerge
-va reiserfsprogs lvm2 syslo-ng postfix vixie-cron' Then
portage recognised postfix and didn't try to install another mta. Shouldn't
portage be smart enough to solve this by itself? greetings erwin |
