I've tried this port on my gcc3 box, not yet with the old gcc:
The port actually installs just fine, the problem is that the
/usr/bin/e3 executable is only 94 bytes and (obviously) won't
run.
However, when I unzip the distribution tarball and compile it
by hand everything is fine. Something in the automated emerge
doesn't work quite right.
root@rux0r e3 # ebuild e3-2.33.ebuild unpack
>>> md5 ;-) e3-2.33.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking e3-2.33.tar.gz
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: /usr/local/gentoo-x86/app-editors/e3/files/e3-2.33-
gentoo.diff: No such file or directory
>>> Source unpacked.
dont know if its supposed to have a patch or what ...
