Setup: Running gentoo thru vbox as guest on a Solaris host (openindiana) While executing `emerge -vuD world', when the `screen' package rolled around I get this `tail' of the compile process: CPP="i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E -DMAXWIN=100 -DNONETHACK -DETCSCREENRC='"/etc/screenrc"' -DSCREENENCO

[gentoo-user] Not able to install ksh93

I've been running ksh93 on this newish install of gentoo for a couple of months and have done several full emerge -vuD world successfully. But 2 days ago, attempting a full update (emerge -vuD world) I find ksh93 package fails... My unsophisticated look at the output which is posted in full here (

[gentoo-user] About "make install all" when kernel building

2016-09-10 Thread Harry Putnam
I have a newish install I've been running for a while. Today I added a setting to the kernel and rebuilt. The final move I made on the kernel move was "make install all" No looking at the /boot/grub/grub.conf all I find is the example file that comes with install. If there was old version be

[gentoo-user] '/' mounted write protected on first boot of vbox gentoo as guest

2016-11-18 Thread Harry Putnam
I installed gentoo in a vbox vm as guest. It boots successfully but is mounted write protected. I didn't see anything in dmesg that I recognized as pointing to the problem. Thought it might be a timing issue during boot processes and so tried to remount rw with `mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda3 /'

[gentoo-user] split-elog setting

2016-11-18 Thread Harry Putnam
On gentoo `Portage log wiki' pages one is told: "In order to create per-category elog files, enable the split-elog Portage feature." (If you want to create `category-based' subdir.) It never gets around to explaining how split-elog is enabled. There is no example in /usr/share/portage/config/

An emerge of webkitgtk-2.14.2 has been running for over 2hrs. I wonder if I am starving my vbox vm of gentoo with 3GB or ram. Top's cpu usage is fluxuating between 45% and 99% during this compile Portage pulling 99% by itself at times. I thought 3GB was a bit high for a vm compared to what I've
