Description Stuart Longland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-03 02:58:23 UTC 
Hi all...

I've been having a bit of grief with the latest AMD64 stages, in particular with gnome-doc-utils (all present versions).  The error log was:

Making all in doc

I also had issues with other Python-related packages... further investigation, I discovered that Python 3.1 was selected as the system version of Python.  Setting this to 2.6 via eselect fixed the problem.

The version information I have is:

beast install # ls
stage3-amd64-20100729.tar.bz2           stage3-amd64-20100729.tar.bz2.DIGESTS
stage3-amd64-20100729.tar.bz2.CONTENTS  stage3-amd64-20100729.tar.bz2.DIGESTS.asc
beast install # cat *.DIGESTS
# MD5 HASH
496d7a2977dcd5f035d729c9e5c76b24  stage3-amd64-20100729.tar.bz2
# SHA1 HASH

# MD5 HASH

# SHA1 HASH
afd9c92bde22b485f244ddcc49588bdcd82a2a1e  stage3-amd64-20100729.tar.bz2.CONTENTS

If people wind up with issues like the above when compiling packages, they should try an `eselect python set python2.6`, particularly if `python --version` reports Python 3.1.
