The python provided by OSX doesn't install python-config (obviously). The result is: >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc2.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc2.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc2/work >>> Source unpacked. echo "YARMOUTH (vb.)

Does the following command work on OSX? ver=`LC_COLLATE=C; python -V 2>&1 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/ //g;s/\([0-9]\.[0-9]\)\.[0-9]/\1/'` echo $ver It should return the string python<major>.<minor> i.e python2.4
bash-3.00$ ver=`LC_COLLATE=C; python -V 2>&1 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's///g;s/\([0-9]\.[0-9]\)\.[0-9]/\1/'` sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression I editted to this: bash-3.00$ ver=`LC_COLLATE=C; python -V 2>&1 | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed -e 's/ //g;s/\([0-9]\.[0-9]\)\.[0-9]/\1/'` bash-3.00$ echo $ver python2.4 does that do what you want?
That is what I was looking for. Do you mind bumping rc2 to rc3 in your overlay and placing dev.g.o/~fuzzyray/distfiles/gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc3.tar.gz in your distfiles directory and testing the install. On my system, I am getting no errors at all with that version.
I forgot to add, when done testing, you should probably remove it from your overlay as that tarball is most likely not going to be the final rc3 tarball
the error/warning at compile time is now gone. I already used rc2 with no problems. I'm not a heavy user of the tools, but they appear to work fine for me.
Fixed with gentoolkit-0.2.1_rc3
