It failed due to not finding the 'autoconf' program which wget needed to compile. Using 'emerge -p system' I discovered that autoconf was not merged yet and was several more packages down the list. I did a manual 'emerge autoconf' and that installed autoconf. I then restarted the 'emerge system' and it is still running as I type this...:) Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform a full install from the x86-basic-1.4-20030911.iso 2. Follow the install guide 3. It should bonk out on wget during the 'emerge system' portion Actual Results: The installation failed and I had to re-arrange some things to get it to continue. Expected Results: The 'emerge system' order of packages should have installed the autoconf before trying to install the wget.

It needs to be added to DEPEND. drobbins@gentoo.org 2003-12-05 22:53:26 0000 I've fixed this on CVS. Thanks for the bug report.
