When I emerge oracle-instantclient-basic it says I need to download the files ".zip" i.e. it's missing the filename and shows only the .zip extension. Here's the output: ------------------------------------ # emerge oracle-instantclient-basic Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.2 to / !!! instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.2-20060331.zip not found in /usr/portage/distfiles !!! instantclient-sdk-linux32-10.2.0.2-20060331.zip not found in /usr/portage/distfiles !!! dev-db/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.2 has fetch restriction turned on. !!!
