Sometimes when this happens the internal build system gets a little confused when it is time to switch over, but this is easily resolved by running the fix_libtool_files.sh script in /sbin. You would need to do this when you get errors similar to that listed above. The good news is that you'll only need to do this during the beginning when the system is being built from scratch; once you're up and running you normally won't need to do this again. > automake-1.25-r3 > autoconf-2.58 or better is required > > Why the hell do we try to install x versions of autoconf and > automake????? Because packages have individual automake/autoconf version requirements. Each automake/autoconf is slotted, they don't take up much disk, and they're good to have around for a successful emerge. > So my presumption for the time demand of a Gentoo installation looks > like this. > > A breakage will occure every 15'th package (2 breakages during the first > 30 within 2 days). That's an analysis based upon two initial emptytree emerges. I would expect that for the 200 package estimate that you're using you will probably encounter a total of 4 breaks (I think that's what I had, it was so long ago, but there was one fix_libtool_files.sh run and a couple of changes to /etc/portage/package.keywords to enable ~x86 versions of a few packages where I needed a later version). Completing an install in 4 days will not be a problem if you have the time to check on the emerge process every now and then and resolve the minor problems that crop up. > So which distribution would you suggest me to install during less than 4 > days? I'm wondering about Slackware. You can still stick with gentoo ;-) If you don't have the time to watch over the stage 1 build process, you can jump straight to a stage 3 then update packages from there. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
