I follow the Installation guide of gentoo.  I'm in step

9. Installing Necessary System Tools / 9.a. System Logger


When I emerge syslog-ng, it installs glib-2.20.5 and fails with the
following error:

ebuild.sh, line 49: called src_test
environment, line 2867: called die

die message = "test failed"

The last lines in the log files are:

do_copy_move: 'pattern_file' --> 'not_exists'
 res = 0, error code = 1 = Error opening file
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.20.5/work/glib-2.20.5/gio/tests/ testdir_live-g-file/not_exists/pattern_file':
No such file

Does anybody know what should I do ?



Skip this step and complete the installation.

Once you have done so, `emerge -u world` to update to the latest version of Gentoo packages, then try emerging syslog-ng.

I don't guarantee that this will solve the problem, but it does no harm to be missing the logger for a while, and once the system is installed you can do other things whilst you work through the problem (and the lack of the logger does not delay you so inconveniently).

What LiveCD are you using?

Stroller.
