The previous couple of attempts, the install on my XPS 8940 died on rebuilding ncurses when I copied over my full USE string from my current desktop and updated world. This time around, I did it in pieces. I added some variables, and emerged update, rinse-lather-repeat.. This time the problem happened when I added...
"-pch -roaming -sendmail -spell -tcpd -udev -udisks -unicode -upower -xinerama" to the USE string. The ncurses build died, followed immediately by bash. Grub doesn't seem to work properly, i.e networking and other bootup stuff did not take effect. I booted from the install USB, and set up ssh. When I reach the chroot part, I get... livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --types proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/sys livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/dev livecd /mnt/gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfow.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Here's my USE string, which works fine on two other machines... USE="X apng ffmpeg introspection jpeg opengl openmp png szip truetype x264 x265 xorg threads vala -acl -arp -arping -berkdb -bindist -bles -caps -chatzilla -cracklib -crypt -elogind -filecaps -gallium -gdbm -gmp-autoupdate -graphite -gstreamer -iconv -ipc -iptables -ipv6 -jemalloc3 -libav -libglvnd -llvm -manpager -nls -pam -pch -roaming -sendmail -spell -tcpd -udev -udisks -unicode -upower -xinerama" Any ideas? I have 2 other computers where it works just fine. On the new machine it dies. A re-install is one thing. I just want to make sure it doesn't die again on me. On my other machines I tried... equery b libtinfow.so.6 ...and also... find / -name libtinfow* Zip/zilch/nada. This appears to be something unique on the new install. Is this a clue? -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
