I was actually trying to install games-puzzle/pathological, but pygame is a dependancy. When it tries to install pygame, the ebuild process halts and asks a question of the user. Shouldn't this be taken care of by the Ebuild dependancy checking? bash-2.05b# emerge pygame Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-python/pygame-1.6 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) pygame-1.6.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking pygame-1.6.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/pygame-1.6/work >>> Source unpacked. WARNING, No "Setup" File Exists, Running "config.py" Using UNIX configuration... Hunting dependencies... SDL : found 1.2.6 FONT : found IMAGE : found MIXER : found SMPEG : found 0.4.4 NUMERIC : not found Warning, some of the pygame dependencies were not found. Pygame can still compile and install, but games that require on those missing dependencies will not run. Would you like to continue the configuration? [Y/n]: A quick "emerge -s numeric" shows that my system does indeed have dev-python/numeric-23.1 installed... Not a very critical app (by far), but felt I should report it since others are bound to find the same bug...
Bleh, re-emerging dev-python/numeric seems to have fixed the issue. Pygame now compiles without "not finding" numeric. I don't know if this is a standard problem, but we can probably close this bug.
you upgrade python recently ? might have been related to that
I have numeric installed, but still get the same problem. I have dev-python/numeric-23.1 installed. This comes up as part of getting pydance working.
I get a similar error message as comment #0, but only after pressing Ctrl+C. Until then, the installation hangs at "Source unpacked", and only top is telling me nothing else is happening. Remerging numeric solved this issue for me as well.
