What a good day to sit and watch Gentoo compile "Inside"! I did not get any date errors when I did the "emerge sync" this time. Having the Compaq setup partition is necessary for a successful Gentoo install. This is because the compile is date very sensitive. The emerge sync finished over night, It told me to update Portage. I looked on the Gentoo web site but didn't find anything directly related to this. So I did "emerge Portage" I really hope that was the right thing to do. Thinking outside the box (while in the house) sometimes helps the learning curve. I got the following error... Checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See 'config.log' for more details. configure: error: /bin/sh ' /.configure' failed for autoconf-lib-link !!! ERROR: sys-devle/gettext-0.12.1 failed !!! Function econf, line 324, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed I have no clue what this is telling me, well other then it failed on the C++ preprocessor sanity check I looked in /var/log for "config.log" and didn't find it. I'm not sure where to look for the "config.log" Sam. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
