http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml is incorrect in listing 1.11 in that it misses the fact that you need aclocal to build sys-apps/file(5.03), which you need for building python. This is alleviated by emerging automake, including deps (11) first. Deps are automake-wrapper, gnuconfig, autoconf-wrapper, libperl, perl, perlcleaner, PodParser, Test-Harness, help2man, texinfo, autoconf. I did not encounter any problems with building these deps. I suggest to have $ emerge --oneshot make $ emerge --oneshot automake $ emerge --oneshot --nodeps file at the end of Listing 1.11. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Thanks! I fixed the ebuild, tomorrow I can replace the bootstrap snapshot.
