It seems that the content of

some way, preventing it from being parsed by bash. If you remove
that file then portage will actually try to source the ebuild and
use the eclasses from the portage tree.
If removing environment.bz2 doesn't solve the problem, you can
remove /var/db/pkg/dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.27/libxml2-2.6.27.ebuild (as
suggested in the die message) and the pkg_prerm() and pkg_postrm()

Correct, my ${DISTDIR} is normally mounted via nfs.
When I umount it, I can emerge ...
When mounted, dmesg gives me
lockd: cannot monitor ${IP_OF_NFS_SERVER}
lockd: failed to monitor ${IP_OF_NFS_SERVER}
What can I do to fix this? Restarting the nfs-service on the server did
not help yet.
There are also nfs services that you need to run on the client side.
Maybe you need to do something like this:
emerge --noreplace nfs-utils
rc-update add nfs default
/etc/init.d/nfs start
If both client and server side services are running correctly then
should just work.

Will my 'dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r2/' remain pristine and usable?
When the devs do provide an elcipse 3.3 version in portage
I'll just comment out the OVERLAY line in 'make.conf'
and just emerge the official eclipse 3.3 from portage, or
is there more to it than that?
Any other caveats, I should know about?
The fact that its not in the main tree yet may indicate that there
are some rough edges that you may not want to be exposed to. The
ebuild in that overlay seems to have dependencies from both the
java-experimental overlay and the main java-overlay.
Rather than install a bunch of software from outside the main tree,
it's probably a lot safer to use an eclipse-sdk-bin ebuild like the
one I've attached. You'll have to manually download
eclipse-SDK-3.3-linux-gtk.tar.gz or similar from eclipse.org and
save it in ${DISTDIR} before you can digest the ebuild and install
it (the gentoo-wiki guide should help you with that).

Yeah, I think should. The version of portage that I'm using (2.1_pre3) will
create the directory with the correct gid (if the directory does not exist).
However, after the directory has been created, portage does not ensure that
.locks continues to have the correct gid.

It would be icky to have to specify blocker logic/messages like that. There's
actually an open bug specifically about this issue:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79606
Basically, the problem lies in the fact that portage unmerges the previous
version _after_ the new version has been merged into place. One possible
solution would be to have a special feature that, when enabled, allows portage
to automatically unmerge an old version _before_ the new one is installed (with
protection against unmerging system packages of course).

The post sync metadata transfer (equivalent to `emerge --metadata`) copies
readonly pre-generated cache from ${PORTDIR}/metadata/cache/ to the writable
cache which is stored in /var/cache/edb/dep/${PORTDIR}. You can delete the
whole cache with `rm -rf /var/cache/edb/*`. After you've done that, you can
repopulate it with `emerge --metadata` (`emerge --regen` is more time consuming
because it sources all of the ebuilds and eclasses instead of using the
pre-generated cache).

Re: [gentoo-user] adding files to an iso image
I was under the impression that the iso filesystem is read only. Of course, you could mount the iso on a loop and create a new iso from those files. If I create an iso with mkisofs -udf then I am able to mount -t udf -o loop,rw but there is no extra space on the filesystem to add files. I use mkudffs from the udftools package when I need a writable udf filesystem. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can mount the iso on a loop device and manipuilate it there.

You need a cross compiler to compile x86_64 binaries from a plain x86 userland. It's easier to grab an existing AMD64 stage tarball. What if I don't bother updating the arch?

Hi Mark,
You only need to get back libstdc++.so.5 ;-)
Are you sure it's gone? Mine is in
/usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5 and if yours is
still there then you can run ldconfig to fix it
(/usr/lib/libstdc++-v3 should be in /etc/ld.so.conf).
If it's really gone then you could get a libstdc++-v3
binary package and untar it. If you have
FEATURES=buildpkg then you might have a tbz2 in
${PKGDIR}/All. If you don't have a tbz2 you can use
quickpkg from the gentookit package to generate tbz2

Looks like something is wrong with

delete it and start from scratch ;-) I've used
gtk-qt-engine in the past with no problems.
