When I first ran porthole, it didn't start. I just read the first line about pycrash >=0.4pre2 not being found and installed it, then ran porthole again. It still complained about pycrash. This is what it said: poseidon stagger # porthole pycrash module not found. For best debug info Please emerge >= dev-python/pycrash-0.4pre2 NO installed porthole modules found! Please run with the --local flag Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/porthole", line 122, in ? gettext.bindtextdomain (APP, i18n_DIR) NameError: name 'i18n_DIR' is not defined poseidon stagger # porthole --local pycrash module not found.

I experienced the same problems. After some digging, I found out that I needed to re-emerge pyxml. Try it to see if that works.
Re-emerging pyxml doesn't help (x86 stable). Seems to be the same problem as this forum message: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-347542-highlight-porthole+i18ndir.html Stable broke when Python 2.4-r3 came in (slotted) after an emerge sync, but the stable pyxml is still stuck at 0.8.3-r1.

this does not work for me. does porthole depend on dev-python/pycrash?
My experience was much the same. This is what worked for me, - reemerge pyxml - reemerge pycrash run python-updater After those three steps porthole ran without error on my machine.

porthole-0.4.1 is no longer in the tree. If you have similar problems with porthole-0.5.0, open a new bug.
