Bug 92501 has the history... OK, I do not know how to fix the ebuild. Futhermore, it took 6 months of pleading and begging to get that one(0.8.2) done. So I guess jffnms on gentoo is dead? I'll post to the bug(92501), but there has not been any activity on jffnms since oct'05.... That's a dam shame because, although a bit complicated, jffnms is the king of network management packages, particularly strong with snmp and cisco routers (netflow) support. The instruction page was never completed: http://dev.gentoo.org/~angusyoung/docs/jffnms/docs/jffnms.html Update: I just ran 'emerge jffnms' and the jffnms package skipped compiling and installed? emerge jffnms Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) net-analyzer/jffnms-0.8.2 to / >>> md5 files ;-) jffnms-0.8.2.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-jffnms-0.8.2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) jffnms-0.8.2.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking jffnms-0.8.2.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/jffnms-0.8.2/work >>> Source unpacked. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: net-analyzer/jffnms-0.8.2 >>> Install jffnms-0.8.2 into /var/tmp/portage/jffnms-0.8.2/image/ category net-analyzer * JFFNMS has been partialy installed on your system.
