Bug 15234 – /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 does not exist while running scripts/bootstrap.sh

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Justin Akehurst 2003-02-06 16:22:33 UTC]

While running scripts/bootstrap.sh, I get an error saying that /usr/lib/X11 
does not exist.  Further investigation leads to /usr/lib/X11 points 
to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but that directory does not exist.  AFter making 
it 'mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11', the bootstrap.sh script ran successfully.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download and uncompress stage 1 tarball for gentoo 1.4 rc2
2. modify make.conf to your liking, cd /usr/portage
3. scripts/bootstrap.sh

Actual Results:  
It runs for a while, then comes up with an error, saying '/usr/lib/X11 does not 
exist'

Expected Results:  
It should have completed the bootstrap.sh script

I performed 'emerge sync' before I ran the bootstrap.sh script, by the way.

I also encounter the exact same problem.
I am using the i686 GRP live CD.
standard Stage 1 tarball from the CD.

i got the same error when i run the bootstrap.sh script. after i created the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 everything works fine. when i looked in the emerge.log file i found out, that the baselayout ebuild generates this error. so i thing a possible workarround for this error is to create the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 before you start the bootstrap.sh script until some one fixes the baselayout ebuild.

well, this was a portage bug -- if you got the -r11 release of portage.  This problem was fixed in -r12...
