stage1-ix86-1.1a.tbz2 fails to compile groff when running the /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh process.
We are going to need more than this. What was the exact error? What is your hardware? What method of installation are you using and what version?
Craigthulu: could it be that you mistakenly added "build" to your USE variables, or that you forgot to bootstrap? Both of these mistakes will caue the failure you are describing.
I was running the bootstrap and the c++ compiler couldn't be found (at least that is what the groff ebuild was claiming). I believe that this is a duplicate of another bug report that was mentioned on the list a few days ago.
OK, this should be fixed now. I removed "gd" support from our glibc ebuilds, which pulls in all sorts of insane junk when USE="gd" is enabled. You were enabling that variable, weren't you? :)
Yes, of course I was :) I have most things enabled except arts esd and mbox.
