Newbie, I have followed instruction at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml Then at step 1.16: doing the final system installation (emerge -e system) I have search on google for "Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE! " error and it is adviced to relaunch emerge --sync that I have done but always the same error. Many thanks in advance Kind Regards Here is the full error message: >>> Emerging (68 of 106) sys-apps/debianutils-3.4.3-r1 * debianutils_3.4.3.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...
